Through his unorthodox theories about child-rearing, she becomes happier and healthier while finding her place in her family of seven boy cousins and numerous aunts and uncles. She also makes friends with Phebe, her aunts' young housemaid, whose cheerful attitude in the face of poverty helps Rose to understand and value her own good fortune.

All eleven of her cousins have grown up and moved out, leaving her without an outlet for her youngest-child mischief. Until cousin Joey returns from America alongside his dashing benefactor, Mr Benedict Hawkins. Educated at Eton, then at Harvard, the half-American Mr Hawkins is a worldly businessman and an only child, fascinated with the affectionate workings of the Thackery clan.

The End of Wythwood Boulevard by kyrvvism

Note: Coming back to this two years later and seeing all of the spelling and grammar mistakes is hurting me on a spiritual level. The year is 1830 in Bromwich, Massachusetts. Beginning on New Year's day, the Clarke family begins their journey through the year with hopeful thoughts of the things to come, but soon find that they may end up discovering more than they'd expected. This book, the first of many to come, I'm sure, will cover the story of Elsie Clarke and Lenore Whittock as they get to know each other and become friends, and, eventually, maybe even more.. ------------- Co-written by @dilflover290. Cover made by @deluner.
