Have you ever wondered about all the people who lived in your house before you?

25 Library Terrace in Edinburgh is a house where lives are changed.

In 1911, new resident Ursula Black embraces women's suffrage in the form of census protest, discovers vegetarianism, and learns just how difficult it can be to bring up someone else's children.

In 1931, the house becomes part of a radical experiment in a different way of living, and a family secret from the past is uncovered.
