"April 1913: Belle Newbold hasn't seen mountains for seven years -- since her father died in a mining accident and her mother married gasoline magnate Shipley Newbold. But when her stepfather's business acquaintance, Henry Ford, invites the family on one of his famous Vagabonds camping tours, she must face the mountains once again -- primarily in order to reunite with her future fianceÌ, owner of the land the Vagabonds are using for their campsite, a man she's only met once before. It is a veritable arranged marriage, but she prefers it that way. She only wants a simple life -- a family of her own and the stability of a wealthy man's pockets. That's what Worth Delafield has promised to give her and it's worth the reminder of the past, and her poverty, to secure her future. But when the Vagabonds group is invited to tour the unfinished Grove Park Inn, Belle is unexpectedly thrust into a role researching and writing about the building of the inn -- a construction the locals are calling The Eighth Wonder of the World. As Belle peels back the facade of Grove Park Inn, of Worth, of the society she's come to claim as her own, and the truth of her heart, she begins to see that perhaps it is only by watching a wonder rise from ordinary hands and mountain stone that she can finally find the strength to piece together the long-destroyed path toward who she was meant to be."-- Provided by publisher.
