Synopsis

The Williams' family lives a rough life, living out of their Model-T as their father searches for work. Though Robin loves her family dearly, she's always felt a little different from them--always restless and longing for things she can't explain. When the family finally settles down to work the orchards of the abandoned Las Palermas mansion, Robin discovers a wonderful, secret place--the Velvet Room--where she finally feels content. Over the course of an eventful year, Robin begins to unlock the Velvet Room's mystery, but just when she comes closest, events conspire to force her into a series of difficult choices that threaten to separate her from the Velvet Room forever.
