The Grand Design (by Joy Callaway)

I enjoy historical fiction books. This one was a different focus for me in that it took place during the early 1940s. I loved learning more about the Greenbrier, which I have been blessed to have visited and given a behind-the-scenes tour. I did not connect with the main character, Dorothy Draper. I felt like the story was more focused on romance than the history aspect of the book. Though, there are plenty of positive reviews, so this may be one you would want to read to see if it appeals to you.
