Meet Violet Travilla. Books one through four. Adapted from the nineteenth-century novels by Martha Finley, this fresh and relatable series of books for modern readers continues the saga of the next generation of Dinsmores and Travillas through the dramatic experiences of Violet Travilla, the middle daughter of the famous Elsie Dinsmore Travilla. Artistic and imaginative, Violet is a Victorian era teenager growing up in the late 1870s. Vi looks forward to all that life has to offer a girl in the post-Civil War South. She has hopes of pursuing academics, travel, and new opportunities in her future. But in book one, fourteen-year-old Vi faces a severe crisis that overshadows her good nature and causes her to hide troubling doubts and fears-emotions she is reluctant to share with anyone. Vi must learn valuable lessons about her family and her faith in this beautiful coming of age story in which Vi confronts the many challenges teens of all eras face. In books two through four, Violet's life's destiny unfolds as new prospects take Vi to exciting places-like Rome and New York City-and plunge her into circumstances that will test and shape her into a young woman of virtuous character and courage. Ultimately, Vi's travels will lead her back home to the adventure of a lifetime-a bold mission and the chance to see her dream of impacting a whole city come true. But mysterious villains will stop at nothing to deter her mission. Journey back in time and join Violet Travilla in some of the most significant and life-changing events of a girl's life. You'll find that this charming nineteenth-century heroine is not so differnet from you. Once you meet Violet, you will never forget her.
