Young and brilliant, I've tried to find the best picture that was most authentic to David Hartford's era.
Brought before us in the beautiful descriptions of Kate Morton's debut novel, The House At Riverton, David Hartford is the elder brother of willful Hannah and eager-to-please Emmeline. With the three Hartford children, there is a camaraderie that belies normal viewing. With their minds full of adventure, the siblings each form a bond that is close and bound with endless loyalty. And where it comes to David and Hannah, there's a level of trust and a history of adventures that makes the reader envious of their relationship.
Having gotten to know David as well I could, I can honestly say that he earned his place as BBW. Loyal, adventurous, daring, and determined, he combines all of the best qualities of maturity with all the blessed recklessness of youth. And you can't help but love him for it.
