The Jones are a family living in the Great Depression. Henry and Linda have two daughters, Olivia Williams and Jane Jones. Olivia has moved out and gotten married, and has even had a few children. Jane, on the other hand, is only sixteen and is still living at home, but she is in love and is planning to be married to the man of her dreams, James Anderson.
But her whole world gets turned upside down. Her parents can't afford the rent anymore, and they have to move into a large house with over twelve other families. It doesn't sound bad to Jane, until she realizes it's in a different town which is four hours away by train. She refuses, but is forced to go along with her parents.
They arrive at the odd-house, house number fourty-three, and Jane meets many people on the first day. There's something about these people, though, but Jane just doesn't know what it is.
