Her notions of real life--the social whirl of Newport and New York--are totally upended and she despairs in rooming with the overly eccentric Romeyn family in such a small backwater town. The Romeyn family is a fixture in the town, their identity tied to its knotty history. Layla enters their lives and lights a match to the family veneer and a truth comes to light that will change each of their lives forever in deeply personal and powerful ways. As Layla embarks on this grand adventure to establish historical moments in print, her first friend, the town librarian Ms. Betts wisely cautions: "There is a problem with history. All of us see a story according to our own lights. None of us is capable of objectivity." Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression and told through the incredible voices of three narrators you quickly come to love--Layla Beck, Jottie Romeyn, and her niece, twelve year old Willa--this is an intimate family novel of love and family, of history and truth, and of struggle and hope, filled with the kind of characters once you discover, you'll never forget"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Historians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Depressions $y 1929 $z West Virginia $v Fiction. 651 0 $a West Virginia $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a West Virginia $x Social life and customs $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Books on compact disc, Unabridged. 941 $a 4 945 $a cdab 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430020446.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720044501.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418111542.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20151024010053.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=82F4B0D07A1411E58AE277AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
