Lydia Livingston
Lydia Livingston is the cousin of Caroline Abbott. Lydia is about two years older than Caroline, turning twelve sometime in the fall. She is a little more ladylike than Caroline, but still enjoys things such as sailing and spinning tops. She and Rhonda Hathaway get along after meeting, which makes Caroline feel left out as she does not want to be very ladylike like they do.
Lydia, her parents, and her brother were residents of Upper Canada (now Ontario) and thus British citizens; they move back to New York two days before Caroline's tenth birthday. read more
