Tacy (ohmygosh!!!), Cab (which was cute), Carney, Sam. :PĪnd we get to see the whole Crowd settled. but I'm sure she's a Christian!) and yell at. I mean, seriously?! Was there ever a worse cliffhanger in the history of books?!?!?! Yet another author I have to look up in Heaven (you know, assuming. I only wish Lovelace had written just one more book! At the end, Joe goes off to war. It's a hard time for a young couple to get started in the world (yet another spoiler: WW1), but they get through it together. Like, they must be the cutest couple ever! They get along so well, and even when they disagree, they manage to get through it together. But Betsy's Wedding has a special place in my heart. They are all so sweet and perfect and I love them. I think that's because I love them all (especially the ones from her highschool years on) equally. I can never decide which of the Betsy-Tacy books are my favorite. Maud once stated that the three couldn’t have been closer if they’d been sisters. Maud, Bick, and Midge became lifelong friends. Tib’s character was based on another playmate, Marjorie (Midge) Gerlach, who lived nearby in a large house designed by her architect father. Among its many children was a girl Maud’s age, Frances, nicknamed Bick, who was to be Maud’s best friend and the model for Tacy Kelly.
Shortly before Maud’s fifth birthday a “large merry Irish family" moved into the house directly across the street. When Maud was a few months old, the Hart family moved two blocks up the street to 333 Center. The street, Center Street, dead-ended at one of the town’s many hills. Maud’s birthplace was a small house on a hilly residential street several blocks above Mankato’s center business district. “That dear family" was the model for the fictional Ray family. Her sister, Kathleen, was three years older, and her other sister, Helen, was six years younger. She was the middle of three children born to Thomas and Stella (Palmer) Hart. Maud Hart Lovelace was born on April 25, 1892, in Mankato, Minnesota.
