From modern-day Roanoke Island to the sweeping backdrop of North Carolina s Blue Ridge Mountains and Roosevelt s WPA folklore writers, past and present intertwine to create an unexpected destiny.

Restaurant owner Whitney Monroe is desperate to save her business from a hostile takeover. The inheritance of a decaying Gilded Age hotel on North Carolina s Outer Banks may provide just the ray of hope she needs. But things at the Excelsior are more complicated than they seem. Whitney s estranged stepfather is entrenched on the third floor, and the downstairs tenants are determined to save the historic building. Searching through years of stored family heirlooms may be Whitney s only hope of quick cash, but will the discovery of an old necklace and a Depression-era love story change everything?
