Meet Madeline the owner of the house. She is a very private lady that comes from a small family. Her mother passed away when she was a still a child and her father is a captain of one of the ocean liners of the White Star Line company. Madeline has one older sister, Laurel. She is single, very shy and quite delicate. She went to the best private schools so she is very well educated and she has plenty of etiquette.
The year is 1913 and Madeline’s world is rapidly changing around her. Natural disasters took their toll on the United States with the Ohio floods, California’s record breaking high temperatures and the Great Lakes Storm. Art is changing with the September Mom painting controversy and for the first time an income tax is imposed by the federal government. Ford Motor Company introduces the first moving assembly line, changing transportation forever and the modern zipper is invented, changing our garments forever. Gandhi is changing the world and Harriet Tubman dies but Rosa Parks is born.
Yes, this year will be one to remember, especially for Madeline. It’s the year she moves into the house of her dreams.
