Both of her parents were literature professors at Princeton, which meant, in middle school, the mention of Dr. Bradin Cormack sent her into an intellectual schoolgirl daydream. However, by the time she finally sat in his classroom, her disposition had taken a curious turn. Her parents spoke of religion the way neighbors spoke of their favorite television show. They were proud of the churches they had helped build and keep alive. When they were not buried in books and lectures and research, they were rushing into spiritual volunteer work. Elly followed-suit, pen and paper in hand. In high school, a priest at the new mission church took a special interest in Elly. He told her she was humble; and her quietness was a virtue. She had never thought to give her disposition any concrete recognition. However, he began to remember small things about her, and they would reappear in his homilies. A year later, he was defrocked. There was no explanation. ▅CAREER▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ From Princeton to Pratt on family lineage, strong reports, and generational creativity, Elly found a way to explain herself. Shortly after graduation, she landed a New York Times Best Seller titled The Eternal Orphan. The novel was inspired by Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Eternal Husband. She took a darkly humorous and repentant turn on the Eastern story of the soul’s mystical struggle — a woman who discovers that her greatest suffering is not abandonment, but in the fact that she uses abandonment as a moral shelter. The book was written during graduate school and published after her graduation. Immediately, Eleanor became an intellectual anomaly, praised by feminists and traditional women alike. Yet the praise brought pressure and public scrutiny, especially after a small but loud group of religious zealots, known as the OrthoBros and Rad-Trads, made her book infamous. “This is modern therapy language in Orthodox clothing,” they claimed and insisted it would turn faithful women into critics of their husbands and confessions into psychiatric complaints and marriages into business negotiations. On the other end of the spectrum, the more progressive readers found her work too accepting of suffering and too willing to see pain as meaningful as opposed to criminal. They ruled her book’s themes did not dismantle the traditions of spiritual patriarchal hierarchies but protected strides them. Even when she exposed their harm, she refused to burn them. And, as a prelude to her first fall after tasting fame and fortune, Eleanor backed into journalism. She wanted to study her subject and her audience more closely before beginning her second and more intimately personal literary venture, The Confessor, a novel set in the same universe as her first, exploring how a woman’s devotion and obedience make her vulnerable to clerical abuse disguised as spiritual care. She is currently working on her third novel. She remains adamant about continuing to build her literary universe in a contemplation and hopes to change the moral weather of society. However, she now writes under heavy scrutiny, and her work is often more argued with than it is celebrated. Her insistence on exposing moral complexities that without resolution has only grown brighter. Alongside this clarity, an erosion has trickled into long nights of one too many glasses. What was once a small reliance for celebration has turned into a crutch for coping. |
 | Dr. Mary Hill Somewhere along the way, Elly lost the support of her father. It was a hard break. When she was about twelve years old, she made a concrete decision: she would never be embarrassed by him, no matter what. And yet, despite having a strained emotional relationship with her mother during childhood, her mother is someone she can at least rely on now. Mary is proud of her daughter and constantly assures Elly that her father is proud of her too, even if it might not be true. Honest or not, Elly will always feel in debt to her. |  | Rebecca Sampson Rebecca is Elly’s therapist. A quiet, noble brunette who just lost her only child — a dog named Cotton. She is one of the few figures in Elly’s life who can keep her grounded. Lately, though, she has felt her own standing slipping toward similar scrutiny if anyone discovers Elly is her patient. For now, she has protection under the practice of Dr. John Gallo, the traditional Catholic and courtroom legend, famous for turning the tides when everything seems lost. |
 | Spencer Graham They were dating. Or maybe they weren’t. But does it really matter when he’s her editor? Some would say yes. Others would shrug. Elly thought they were dating, but Spencer’s communication kept slipping as he swung between the pendulums of Soy Boy and Pick-Up Artist. It didn’t help that the only reason he’d picked her up (editorially speaking) was because he was a recent convert to the Orthodox Church. Now all he wanted was the paycheck and the recognition, while he quietly tortures his favorite Church-Mouse-Wannabe: Elly Hill. |  | Ewan Wycliffe Her former parish priest is someone she can’t quite dismantle. There is something about keeping in contact with him that won’t leave her alone. He buys and reads her books, and he consistently encourages her. He is (ultimately) the reason she started down this path, and now he is one of her biggest supporters as a not-so-secret admirer. Plus, his social media is finally picking up some traction, again. |
My goal is to go home and take a nap.
