Overview"""A wonderful, moving story about love and loss, focusing on two generations: grandmother and granddaughter."" -Marie W. Watts, author of the award-winning trilogy, Warriors for Equal Rights A beloved home. Matters of the heart. Can an elderly woman find the key to saving her precious heritage? Asheville, North Carolina. Elizabeth has a dilemma. After celebrating a milestone birthday, the feisty ninety-year-old anxiously contemplates a developer's lucrative offer for her Blue Ridge Mountain farmhouse. Worried her adult children will pressure her to sell, the lively senior recalls how her journey to this forever home began back in the 50s when she met the man who would become her husband... Present day. Amanda yearns to stop wasting time. After ending a dead-end, three-year relationship and moving in with her spirited grandmother, the thirty-four-year-old nurse sees her dream of marriage and kids vanishing. But when she meets a handsome widower at a hospital summit, she cautiously lets down her walls. As Elizabeth's memories take her back to when she was a hopeful young woman, she reveals how a horrific accident led to the ER and a charming doctor. While Amanda fears the worst when she overhears the enigmatic man she's fallen for talking on the phone with another woman. Do both women's stories lead to a grand legacy and a lifetime of love? In an emotional rollercoaster that interweaves the two women's chance at a future, their parallel romances illustrate the power of resilience and hope despite heartbreak.

She considers Elizabeth's Mountain to be her true debut novel. When she was young, walking into a bookstore, with its new book smells and feels, was more exciting to her than a candy shop. She has lived most of her life in northern New Jersey and now lives in South Carolina with her husband, close to her two daughters and grandchildren. Lucille loves stories that lift her up and gratify her and where she can take a little of the characters inside of her and sometimes see herself in them.
