This early 20th century memoir of a woman’s faith in the face of debilitating disease is a “remarkably un-self-pitying book remains poignant and truthful” (Publishers Weekly). “You must not miss it . . . It is the kind of book that cannot come into being without great living and great suffering and a rare spirit behind it.” —The New York Times In 1895, a specialist straps five-year-old Katharine Hathaway, then suffering from spinal tuberculosis, to a board with halters and pulleys in a failed attempt to prevent her from becoming a “hunchback” like the “little locksmith” who does odd jobs at her family’s home. Forced to endure her confinement for ten years, Katharine remains immobile until age fifteen, only to find that none of it has prevented her from developing a deformity of her own. The Little Locksmith charts Katharine’s struggle to transcend physical limitations and embrace her life, her body, and herself. Her spirit and courage prevail as she expands her world far beyond the boundaries prescribed by her family and society: she attends Radcliffe College, forms deep friendships, begins to write, and in 1921, purchases a house of her own that she fashions into a space for guests, lovers, and artists. Revealing and inspirational, The Little Locksmith stands as a testimony to Katharine’s aspirations and desires—for independence, love, and the pursuit of her art. “A powerful revelation of spiritual truth” —The Boston Globe “Katharine Butler Hathaway . . . was the kind of heroine whose deeds are rarely chronicled . . . [She took] a life which fate had cast in the mold of a frightful tragedy and redesign[ed] it into a quiet, modest work of art.” —The New Yorker

Yes, she has a "little god" who helps her when she's hungry, but this gift hasn't stopped her father from becoming ill or her mother from kicking her out of the family home. If only her boyfriend offered any real support. But all he wants is to use her little god to help him rob people. When she hears her father's former business partner and nemesis is returning to town with a caravan full of spices, she wonders just what it would take to steal his spices and pay for her father's medical care. At last, this is an idea Pallavi's boyfriend can get excited about, and before they know it, they are working with three of the city's most notorious personalities to plan the heist of a lifetime. Their greatest obstacle, though, isn't the man they want to rob or the authorities. It's a government bureaucrat who knows the truth about Pallavi's budding powers, and wants to take her away before she becomes a danger to herself, or others.
