The country's grandest example of privilege, it symbolizes the aspirations of its owner and the dreams of a girl, just as driven, who lives in its shadow. Kerry MacGregor's future is derailed when, after two years in college in New York City, family obligations call her home to the beautiful Appalachians. She is determined to distance herself from the opulence she sees rising in the Blue Ridge Mountains, however close its reach. Her family's land is among the last pieces required to complete the Biltmore Estate. But something more powerful than an ambitious Vanderbilt heir could change Kerry's fate as, one by one, more outsiders descend on the changing landscape--a fugitive from Sicily, a reporter chasing a groundbreaking story, a debutante tainted by scandal, and a conservationist prepared to put anyone at risk to stoke the resentment of the locals. As Kerry finds herself caught in a war between wealth and poverty, innocence and corruption, she must navigate not only her own pride and desperation to survive but also the temptations of fortune and the men who control it."--Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Biltmore Estate (Asheville, N.C.) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a North Carolina $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Appalachian Mountains $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Poverty $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Wealth $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Detective and mystery stories. 941 $a 11 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022527.0 952 $l WFPC115 $d 20230217125422.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909063030.0 952 $l KTPC296 $d 20220906014731.0 952 $l TOPB062 $d 20220503074336.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20210831010431.0 952 $l SEPC074 $d 20210422013943.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20210302015135.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210106010611.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210105034703.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201212015719.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=131A56A63C4811EBAF9DE24839ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
