“Life sucks, or should I say is tough enough, and ‘Crestmont’ is a refreshing escape, one of those pieces of art that transports you to a world of elegance and charm, of babbling brooks and hair bobs and willow trees.”
–Gregor Collins
Here’s the set-up:
“A dream, after all, needn’t be fueled by particulars, only by desire.” So notes main character, Gracie Antes, in CRESTMONT
, a historical fiction gem set in the 1920s. Determined to take control of her life, sheltered Gracie Antes leaves her unhappy home in 1925 to pursue her dream of a singing career. On her way to the big city, she accepts a job as a housemaid at the bustling Crestmont Inn. Once there, Gracie finds a life-changing encounter with opera singer Rosa Ponselle, family she never imagined could be hers, and a man with a mysterious past. Relive the 1920s with a colorful cast of characters. Discover with Gracie that sometimes we must trade loss for happiness. Set in Eagles Mere, Pennsylvania, the story is interwoven with details about the town, the rich history of The Crestmont Inn, and the family who passed ownership from one generation to the next. Many attempts have been made to explain how the mountaintop lake nestled in this tiny town came to be. Crestmont gives a new twist to an old Native American legend, setting the tone of grace around which the story is built. Let the period of the Roaring Twenties spark your interest with its unique social mores, fashion, jazz, and yes, a little bootlegging thrown in for pizzazz.

One Reviewer Notes:
“After the first world war, many women thought to take control of their own destinies. “Crestmont” tells the story of Gracie Antes as she pushes for her dream as a singer, accepting a job as a housemaid along her journey. Through her pursuit, she meets friends, love, and much heartache along her quest for a better life. “Crestmont” is a fine and riveting read for historical fiction fans, highly recommended.“
