A Thing of Beauty: A Novel of Glen Eyrie

By Ashley Eiman

Book Overview

Glen Eyrie, Colorado Springs, 1895-After the death of their mother, three young women are faced with a jolting reality: they must leave their home in England and travel across the Atlantic Ocean to live with a father they barely know. Nestled at the base of Pikes Peak, his stately home, Glen Eyrie, is filled with mysterious servants, a secret tunnel, and a history firmly rooted in intrigue. As the girls navigate their new lives in the West, they discover the power of adventure, romance, and passion-until a terrible tragedy threatens everything they hold dear.

Elsie, Dorothy, and Marjory Palmer are the little-known daughters of Civil War hero, railroad tycoon, and eccentric philanthropist General William Jackson Palmer. This coming-of-age story will take you back in time to a fledgling pioneer town at the turn of the century, and give you a glimpse into the daily lives of one of Colorado's most influential families.
