However, Thornton contends with his own issues – issues that don't include better working conditions and the sparking attraction between him and Elise. Her history with the town's developer, Thornton Quincy, temporarily preserves her.
However, she finds immediately that the pay and work is far worse than promised. Convinced that she can earn better wages in the west and send them back to her sisters, Elise joins the New York Children's Aid Society.

As the oldest of the Neumann sisters, Elise carries the heavy responsibility of protecting and providing for her siblings as well as the two small children that live with them.
