Marie’s Home
Marie’s Home begins by introducing us to fairly average, ordinary Marie Hamilton. Until the time she is eleven years old, Marie Hamilton lives a peaceful life with her grandmother, parents, and younger brother on the family estate in England.
However, her life changes dramatically when her family moves to France just before the start of the French Revolution! Marie’s father returns to France at the invitation of Louis XVI. He plans to reclaim his title and estates as the Comte de Grandville.
The family arrives at the magnificent palace of Versailles and quickly becomes part of privileged court life. All is not well, though, in France. Only months later the oppressed and starving French people rise up against the nobility.
When the enraged mob storms through the palace, a strange twist of events rescues Marie and her family from grave danger. But Marie’s story of courage, self-sacrifice and true nobility is not yet over!
