The Meredith legacy
This time it's a house as well as a family called Meredith and after Aunt Flora takes a fatal tumble, an assortment of cousins and uncles and aunts are on hand to see who will inherit. Including Alex who ran away at sixteen having been told he had a ""diseased"" mind and who now is the butt of family suspicion -- all except that of Lydia who tells the story when she's not wandering in the root cellar. It's that convention, of course, a little better than her first, Briarcliff Manor (KR, p. 145) although any breathalyzer will tell you there's nothing stronger than eau de cologne around.

Sharon “Sherry” Anne Zettler Salvato
Sherry was born and raised in Columbus, where she attended St. Mary of the Springs High School. She was a woman of faith and a life-long member of the Catholic Church.
Sherry went on to study art and education at the University of Cincinnati, where she became the first woman certified to teach Russian in the state of Ohio. There, she met Guido “Guy” Salvato (GlenCove, NY) who she was married to from 1961 until 1979. They raised four sons together in Bexley, Ohio.
There, she began her career as an author and published her first novel in 1974. By 1990, she had published 13 nationally recognized historical fiction novels, including Bitter Eden and The Black Swan.She also wrote under the pen names Day Taylor and Alice Raymond (a collaboration with her son Greg). Her novels are still being enjoyed today, and she was always delighted to meet a fan of her work.
She moved to Powell in 1984, and to her final home in Johnstown in 1995 where she lived on and tended the “Bramble Bush” berry farm for several years. She grew blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries for customers to pick themselves summer after summer.
Some of her other loves were Ohio State football, Massey’s pizza, black licorice, odd finds and adventures, gardening, CSPAN, Northern Ireland, the Blessed Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. She took special care of her family, dear friends, and those in need who crossed her path. Her family was her treasure, and she will always be deeply loved by many.
