History

The Jensens have lived at 1327 Post Road for Audrey’s entire life. Once a happy home, Helen’s long illness and subsequent death cast a pall on the place that never quite lifted. In the immediate aftermath of Helen’s death, the house fell into a state of disorder, as Howard’s grief spiraled into alcoholism.
