Three books. One house. Seventy-five years of change.
The future didn't arrive all at once. It moved in, one room at a time.
A multigenerational story about one family, one house, and the machine that changed everything inside it. Spanning seventy-five years of love, loss, and quiet transformation in a small Ohio town.
In the quiet suburb of Maplewood, Ohio, the Keegan family brings home a machine named Hank. What follows is not a story about technology taking over β it is the story of what happens when the invisible labor that held a family together is suddenly performed by something that never tires.
Twenty years later, robots are simply part of life. But Hank is aging. Its blue light has dimmed. As Ed's health fades and the family gathers again at that familiar scarred oak table, the Keegans face a quieter, more intimate question: what happens when the future itself begins to grow old?
Seventy-five years after Hank arrived, great-granddaughter Sophie must decide the fate of the family house. The robots are no longer guests β they are the walls, the lights, the very air. In a town where everything has been integrated, Sophie confronts the final choice.
"When the robots come to stay⦠what stays with us?"
Warm, heartfelt, and deeply human, The Maplewood Trilogy is a multigenerational saga about ordinary people, one small house, and the quiet ways technology reshapes family, memory, and what we refuse to let go of.
