In August 1814, the United States army was defeated just outside Washington, D.C., by the world’s greatest military power. President James Madison and his wife had just enough time to flee the White House before the British invaders entered. British troops stopped to feast on the meal still sitting on the Madisons’ dining-room table before setting the White House on fire. The extent of the destruction was massive; finished in wood rather than marble, everything inside the mansion was combustible. Only the outer stone walls would withstand the fire.
The children of Ellen Heenan strive to hide their father's insanity, after his wife died in childbirth. At first his madness is interpreted as insatiable grief, but then people start to pry and the children realize they are playing a dangerous game.
