HOPE BETWEEN THE PAGES by Award-Winning Author, Pepper Basham

The back one-liner about this story is, Uncover the Story Behind A One-Hundred-Year-Old Bookish Love Note, and so I did, and I hope that you will also.

August, 1915 Biltmore Estate, Asheville, North Carolina & Present Day, Biltmore Village, North Carolina and a touch of The Lake District, England

Oh, yes, this is a delicious tale that is actually two entwining stories, which diverge into one satisfying ending. The present-day characters, Clara Blackwell, Robbie Claflin, Julian Claflin, and Maxwell Weston, the 1915 characters, Sadie Blackwell, Mrs. Vanderbilt, Oliver Camden and Victorian Camden, and more supporting characters were delightful or challenging in their own ways.

So much is woven into this story that can be related to by so many. Struggle, sacrifice, compassion, and overcoming are experienced by these characters in an inspiring way. The connections between these tales are perfectly moving, emotionally engaging, and entertaining. The struggles and courage of these characters touched my heart, and I have a stinking suspicion that if you give this story and Pepper Basham a chance, you will be moved too!
​
Of course, I will not tell you every juicy detail in Clara and Sadie’s unfolding tales. I would never invade the pleasure of your journey through these pages. Some stories you just wish someone would make a movie of it. This is one of those stories!
