<p>A thoughtful, ambitious young man marries into a fabled Southern family and becomes one of them...almost. Under the tutelage of his mother-in-law, Dolly Ward, Ted Brunson helps build Ward Mills, Inc., into one of the most respected textile manufacturing companies in the South. When Dolly dies, Ted faces not only his own grief and self-doubt, but also the open hostility of wife's brothers and the imminent decline of the American textile industry, while the Wards find themselves dependent on a man who, as Dolly once said, is not one of their kind.</p>

But she’s smart and she’s ready. Or so she thinks.</p>

Whirlygig: The Dancin' Man's Daughter

When Mary Ann Claud set out to explore the Blue Ridge Mountains from her home in Tryon, NC, she knew she would find waterfalls, scenic overlooks and charming small towns. But would she have predicted a full scale, private observatory, a mynah bird in charge of a gas station or an alternative theory of where Abraham Lincoln was born? Probably not, yet there they were and she captured all of that, and more, in her weekly newspaper columns for the Hendersonville, N.C. Times-News. The columns collected here will inspire readers to embark on their own Blue Ridge pilgrimage.
