Swept Clean tells the story of Catherine Rankin, who came of age in a time when the aristocratic families in the U.S. were losing their influence as industrialism took the place of class based structures. Catherine descended from one of the Dutch founding families in Albany, The Van Rensselaers, clings to history and tradition. When her family’s unwise financial decisions result in the ancestral home, Cherry Hill, being put up for auction, Catherine must find a way to preserve her own family’s home and the pieces of American history contained within its walls.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin:0in'><span style='font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'> <b>There is a stipend for this project.
