Front Cover
Wheeler Pub., 2011 - Fiction - 565 pages
It's 1880, and for young Nealie Bent the splendid Victorian house under construction in Georgetown, Colorado, is like a fairy tale come to life. She dreams of living in " the Bride's House," with the young mining entrepreneur from the East. For her daughter Pearl, growing up motherless in the Bride's House is akin to being raised in a mausoleum. And for Susan, their legacy and the Bride House's secrets force her to question what she wants and who she loves.
