520    Taking a job with the Federal Writer's Project after 
       refusing to marry, Miss Layla Beck boards with an 
       eccentric family in a backwater town before discovering 
       long-kept secrets. 
520    "Miss Layla Beck, the daughter of a powerful Senator from 
       Delaware refuses to marry the gentleman her father has 
       chosen for her and is forced to get a job working for the 
       FWP to write the first official account of Macedonian 
       History. 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.""--
