background: she was born and raised in asheville, north carolina. her family lived in the mountains, living in a beautiful, large home and had hundreds of acres to themselves. the seclusion was nice, almost too nice. her father wasn't a good man, but he wasn't a bad man either. he wasn't ever there for her mother because of work, and even though they have all they could ever want, he still worked all the time. elouise grew to resent her father, even though her mother told her to think otherwise. when ellie was 20 years of age, howard bought property over in great britain in the town of london. it was similar to the size of the land he owned in america, but his deals were shady. he didn't tell his wife what exactly he was doing with this land or what his plans were in london. the temporary move proved to be good for her brother daniel, who had friends from the war in a town named birmingham. she met tommy and the others through daniel, who was friends with thomas and john through the war.
