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?

I guess living in such a fast paced world now learning to appreciate time that we have to enjoy things that are important. Getting together as a family,sharing events together, making ourselves available when others are in need/

My Kind of book! It sounds good. And I know you're not supposed to judge
a book by its cover, bit it just Lola really good!
(Ana Moran 6:20pm July 1, 2016)

This book sounds lovely. I've always wondered what could be
learned from my ancestors...so when my grandma was still alive
I asked questions, many questions! Since her passing I've
learned of additional family stories. I'm trying to write
things down and pass them along to my teenage children.

Sounds like a wonderful book to cuddle up & read on a quiet day. Thank You for the contest & chance to read your book.

Learning how our family persevered, had the strength and
courage to succeed and were fearless.

i love the appalachian mountains! I miss them so much! I can't wait to read this
book and feel like I am back home in NC

Hi The cover looked good and the story sounded interesting.
(Gwenn Ostman 3:32pm July 3, 2016)

I have always enjoyed listening to the stories from the older family members and the family friends. We can learn that there is no easy road and no problem is new.
(Melinda Marks 4:58pm July 3, 2016)

I've learned that my family are survivors: one of my ancestors was captured by the Shawnee and became one of their war chiefs, another helped found historic St. Mary's, Maryland, members have served in numerous wars, my maternal grandfather was 100 years old when he passed away, I have survived numerous accidents and am now battling cancer for the 3rd time. Just a few of the incidents from my family history.

I love Lisa's writing and enjoyed her post!!

You can learn so much from grandparents and uncles an aunts when they all get together . They love to tell stories and ' tall tales ' . The hardships that some conquer are amazing and the mistakes that are made by these ancestors and how they ' learned from the mistakes' are something we should listen to . I always loved to listen to this group of older people and now I love it when all of ' my group ' of older brothers and sisters get together and start telling stories and their own hardships that they have had . We all need to listen and learn from our elders and friends and families . I hope to read your book soon and thanks for this chance to win .

A big lesson would be to stop dwelling on the past. Look
forward; the past is over and done and can't be changed no
matter how much you might want to.
(Cynthia Powers 4:27pm July 4, 2016)

Let us learn from our past mistakes. Thanks for the giveaway.

My Mom was one of 12 children and I always enjoyed listening
to all of my Aunt and Uncle's stories. Thanks for the
contest!!!!

The Sea Keeper's Daughters sounds so intriguing. I love a blend of past and present.
(Melody Kaufman 3:21am July 6, 2016)

I've enjoyed finding out about my ancestors and wonder about the reason why they finally settled in the rural section of Louisiana. They must have encountered many hardships but remained strong.
(Anna Speed 12:38pm July 6, 2016)

I've learned to listen to my heart and my instincts and not
to make the same mistake twice.
(Beth Tilley 2:32pm July 6, 2016)

When my ancestors traveled to the United States back in the 1700 and 1800s, they came with nothing but love and luck. I think I can learn a lot from them and their adventurous spirits by always choosing to be brave and bold.
(Jamie Stein 4:36pm July 6, 2016)

to learn from our mistakes and try not to make the same
ones over again. This sounds like a really good book!!!
(Darlene Carroll 5:40pm July 6, 2016)
