Learn more about the history, mystery and romance in Rose Senehi’s award-winning historical novels set in the mountains of North Carolina when Friends of the Yancey Library host the author on Oct. 12 from 2:30-4 p.m.
The public is invited to attend the presentation by this very special author in the large conference room on the second floor of the library in Burnsville.
“From the moment I laid eyes on North Carolina’s Hickory Nut George back in 2002, I was intrigued. As I leisurely drove east on the road from Asheville that wove up, down, and around, I never dreamed that in a couple of hours I would be buying my piece of these mountains as a summer cottage,” Rose stated.
“Soon, something about this place and the people who inhabited it lured me away from my career in real estate in Pawleys Island, SC, and plunged me into researching its history and writing seven historical fiction novels about it,” she said. “I hope my stories, wrapped in the area’s history, will let you get to know and love the characters that made this history.”
Her latest novel, Falling Off A Cliff, is the story of a mountain nurse. Two women, a generation apart and from two different worlds, are driven by a passion to heal. Will one have her innocence shattered and the other be forever haunted by an unanswered mystery?
The seven novels Rose has written have received much attention and praise from book reviewers across the state and beyond.
Senehi does not disappoint in her latest novel Carolina Belle—elegance of everyday living, well presented and not dramatized, and close to a perfect story.” —Emöke B’Rácz, poet and founder, Malaprop’s Book & Café, Asheville.
“Senehi has created a thrilling and heart-warming story set against the conflict between developers who are ravaging the mountains of Western North Carolina and those who are fighting to save its beauty for the generations to come. In the Shadows of Chimney Rock is a must read!” —Joan Medlicott, author of the Ladies of Covington series, and Come Walk with Me.
