Mia meets Izzy, the black sheep of the family, and the two become close. When Elena condescendingly offers her a job doing housekeeping for her family, she is hesitant at first but agrees only because she wants to keep an eye on Pearl. Mia becomes concerned about Pearl's idealisation of the Richardsons. Mia works part-time at a Chinese restaurant called the Lucky Palace and sells photographs through a dealer named Anita Rees in New York. She spends time at the Richardson home every day and develops a crush on Trip, and Pearl, who is used to a transient lifestyle in which her mother scrapes together money, is charmed by the Richardsons and their established home. Through Moody, Pearl meets the rest of the Richardson siblings: Lexie, Trip, and Izzy. Elena's younger son, Moody, who is Pearl's age, develops a crush on Pearl and becomes friends with her. The previous year, 1997, Elena Richardson rents her rental home on Winslow Road to Mia Warren, an artist, and her teenage daughter, Pearl. Arson is suspected, as there were multiple small fires. In 1998, the Richardson home in Shaker Heights, Ohio, catches fire.
