family and home;
BEING A FAMILY TREE OF THE HARLOWES AND LANDRIEUS
In the year 1898 it came to pass that BRADY LANDRIEU was born in the great state of Louisiana. Seven years later in 1905 his wife, CAROLINA CHILDS came into this world. After a torrid Cajun love affair, they wed and had five children: Adrienne, Jacques, Genevieve Louise, Brady and Etienne Landrieu. Now here it should be noted that while the Landrieus were making their healthy, laughing family, there was another family in the state of Georgia to the east, headed by THEODORA CAMERON (born 1899) and HARVEY HARLOWE (born 1890). They had four children, called Harold, Jonathan, Thomas and Samantha Harlowe. It just so happened these two families joined, when GENEVIEVE LOUISE LANDRIEU and THOMAS HARLOWE were wed in holy matrimony in the spring of 1951. A little under a year later, their first child, Cassandra, was born. Following this daughter were two sons and two daughters: Brady, Anna Marie, Melissa and Harvey. All of these children scattered like ashes to various parts of the south, save for Cassandra - she went all the way to Germany, marrying ALEKSANDER EINHORN and giving birth to a daughter LOUISE. Brady ended up in Texas, Melissa ended up in Louisiana and Harvey in Tennessee. ANNA MARIE married a Yankee named JOSEPH MAINE, and they lived together in Georgia, where they had a baby girl named LILLIAN.
BEING A PARTIAL ACCOUNT OF THE TUMULTUOUS CHILDHOOD OF LILLIAN MAINE
Lillian Maine was born in the state of Georgia to Anna Marie Harlowe Maine and Joseph Maine in March of 1980. They lived here until a very messy divorce in 1982, whereupon the house in Georgia was sold, Joseph returned to his home state of Connecticut, and Anna Marie and Lillian went to live with Thomas and Genevieve Harlowe in Mississippi. This arrangement only lasted for about two years. Anna Marie soon had to move to Louisiana with her grandmother, Carolina Landrieu. They stayed here for three years. In 1987, it was pressed upon Anna Marie to take her seven year old daughter elsewhere. Elsewhere happened to be Tennessee, with Harvey Harlowe, youngest of the five Harlowes. This was short-lived. In 1988, mother and daughter took refuge with the other Harlowe brother, Brady, in Texas. This too turned out to be an unsavory arrangement, and so Anna Marie went back to Louisiana to stay with her sister, Melissa. At long last, big sister Cassandra offered refuge in Germany. This lasted for a year and a half. 1992 found Lillian and Anna Marie back in Georgia for another year and a half. The next stop was Alabama, with Lillian's great uncle Jacques. Uncle Harold put them up for a short time in New Mexico. Lillian finished high school in Mississippi. After a disappointing rejection from Reed, she spent a year with her great aunt Adrienne in Louisiana, before deciding college might not be a bad idea after all. She lived in Los Angeles from 1999 to 2005, completing a degree in design at that time, starting a food blog, and gaining employment as a web designer. In 2005 she was offered a job writing for the Dining & Wine section of the New York Times, and packed her bags to go try on NYC for size. This does not take into account the months spent in Connecticut, visits to various relatives (especially in Louisiana), and summers in Germany following her stay there.
