What the Mountains Remember (2024)
Joy Callaway
"WHAT THE MOUNTAINS REMEMBER brings the reader to the lush landscape of the Blue Ridge Mountains with an elegant group of famous society glampers to observe the construction of the fabled Grove Park Inn. A young woman confronts class distinction and the restraints of a woman's place set against the hardscrabble lives of the laborers. Joy Calloway weaves a dramatic, heartfelt story of self-discovery and a hard-won love against the stunning backdrop the 'Eighth Wonder of the World."
In Polite Company (2021)
Gervais Hagerty
"Peek behind the veil of Charleston's cobbled streets, Southern charm, and pedigreed society."
The Clover Girls (2021)
Viola Shipman
