Emily Everhart

The Dream They All Believed In

If David Everhart was the engine, and Ian the fire, Emily was the foundation.

The only child of Maine’s influential Winthrop family, Emily was born into privilege—grace, wealth, and the kind of traditional upbringing where one learned to shoot before one learned to drive. Her mother, Margaret Winthrop, was both formidable and fiercely loving, raising Emily to be as poised as she was driven.

In her youth, Emily was the image of the American golden girl—beautiful, intelligent, endlessly composed. But behind the effortless smile was a keen mind already dreaming beyond mansions and Republican fundraisers. She studied architecture and quickly fell under the spell of a new movement: sustainable design. Living cities. Zero-traffic blocks. Environments built not to dominate nature, but to honor it.

Then came David.

A Love That Wasn’t in the Blueprint

David Everhart was everything the Winthrops distrusted—brilliant, poor, unconnected. But Emily didn’t flinch. Against all pressure, she stood by him. Not as a rebellion, not quite. But as a quiet belief in something real.

When David’s talents were recognized and Emily’s early housing projects won global acclaim, resistance melted. The Winthrops not only accepted their daughter’s choice—they embraced it. And when Ian was born, they showered the family with support.

In those years, Emily and David were a kind of myth—young, beautiful, capable. She launched her own architecture studio in Manhattan, at first backed by her family’s wealth, but soon self-sufficient. Her designs redefined post-crisis urbanism, merging environmentalism with elegance. She won awards. She built futures. She became the name in next-generation city planning.

She won awards. She built futures.

Distance That Blueprints Can’t Bridge

But dreams don’t always scale. David’s friction with the Minos Corporation board—his defiant nature, his refusal to play politics—eventually led to his reassignment to Mars. What began as punishment became exile.

Emily, grounded by spinal health issues, could not follow. Ian, now an engineer in his own right, did.

She was left behind—not abandoned but separated by gravity and circumstance. As her Manhattan studio flourished, her family drifted into Martian dust.

At the same time, Margaret Winthrop—once the strongest woman Emily had known—began to fade. A stroke and advanced dementia stole her speech, her recognition, her presence. Emily became not only a daughter, but a caregiver. A tether. A witness to the slow unraveling of legacy.

A Voice That Still Fights

At the start of The Mars Chronicles, Emily is still in New York—but her mind, her work, her heart are all focused outward. Toward Mars. Toward David. Toward Ian.

She lobbies the Minos Board with poise and persistence. She conceals how deeply the distance cuts. And when asked about her loyalty to a man the company considers obsolete, her answer is simple:

“I didn’t marry a corporation. I married a builder. And you’d be foolish to bet against him.”

Emily’s presence echoes across The Mars Chronicles—through architecture, advocacy, and a love that never stopped building.
