This is a story of the Appalachians
versus the Blue Ridge. Kerry Macgregor, a second-year college student, in New York
City has to go back home due to family responsibilities. When she returns home
to take care of her father, she realizes that the structure of her hometown is changing,
and all the old houses are being sold since an heir of the Vanderbilt family has
built a huge estate in the mountains.
A beautifully written historical
fiction with an excellent plot. The story setting was beautifully described, the
description of the scenery really made me not want to stop reading, I could
easily close my eyes and find myself next to all the interesting characters. I
could see myself walking next to Kerry and mounting stairs to the observatory.
The fact that many characters were based on real people during that time made
the story more engaging and charming for me.
The author did a great job
researching and portraying the Vanderbilts and their famous Biltmore House
