Evangeline “Vangie” Thorne is a 27-year-old antique doll restorationist and local seamstress with a soft voice, amber-brown eyes, a perpetual braid, and a peculiar fascination with people's hands.

She spends her days repairing porcelain dolls, restoring vintage clothing, hunting through thrift stores, and quietly observing the strange little habits of strangers. Her sewing room is equal parts meticulous workshop and beautiful disaster, complete with drawers of antique buttons, unfinished garments, doll parts, and Miss Peep—a one-eyed taxidermied rat who was Vangie's first attempt at taxidermy.

Vangie is awkward, endearing, observant, and just strange enough to make people wonder what she's thinking. She's accustomed to being alone, but she likes people more than she knows how to explain.

And apparently, she's also your new neighbor.
