The flickering gaslight cast dancing shadows as Evelyn pored over the photographs. Her Aunt Margaret, forever painted as the dutiful daughter, was shown, in these images, in vibrant, scandalous scenes that her family had never mentioned. A party scene with a man who was definitely not her husband made Evelyn feel hot and breathless.

Evelyn felt an undeniable surge of strength. She squared her shoulders, a fire burning within her. The family history was about to change. She wasn't one to shy away from uncomfortable truths. She felt a sense of determination that propelled her to find the truth.

She felt a sense of purpose. She would go to the local historical society and unearth every secret.
