Soon after World War II had started, controversial American novelist Henry Miller, the author of The Tropic of Cancer and The Tropic of Capricorn, embarked on a journey through the United States to write The Air Conditioned Nightmare. On that odyssey, he stopped in Detroit, an encounter with the capital of "the new planet" he describes in his book, but not mentioned are his side-trips to Windsor, Ontario, where he met secretly with a friend in the old British American Hotel.
From America Sent is the account of a young farm girl who worked as a chambermaid at the hotel and who became obsessed with Miller's dark sexuality. To Miller, she wrote a series of clandestine, passionate letters which she never mailed.
