At the turn of the twentieth century, Ellen Rimbauer became the young
bride of Seattle industrialist John Rimbauer, and began keeping a remarkable
diary. This diary became the secret place where Ellen could confess
her fears of the new marriage, her confusion over her emerging sexuality,
and the nightmare that her life would become. The diary not only follows
the development of a girl into womanhood, it follows the construction
of the Rimbauer mansion - called Rose Red - an enormous home that
would be the site of so many horrific and inexplicable tragedies in
the years ahead.

The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer: My Life at Rose Red is a rare document,
one that gives us an unusual view of daily life among the aristocracy
in the early 1900s, a window into one woman's hidden emotional torment,
and a record of the mysterious events at Rose Red that scandalized Seattle
society at the time - events that can only be fully understood now
that the diary has come to light. Edited by Joyce Reardon, Ph.D. as
part of her research, the diary is being published as preparations are
being made by Dr. Reardon to enter Rose Red and fully investigate its
disturbing history.
