Chestnut Cove: Poseurs and Portraits

by B.A. Howell

Known for their generosity and fairness, the Stuarts are beloved by most people in their hometown of Elkford. However, a twenty-year-old tragedy haunts the family. One young woman seeks to expose the truth, long hidden by deception and lies, but to do so may require her to become the greatest poseur of all.Chestnut Cove, a series set in the foothills of the southern Appalachian Mountains in the latter half of the 20th century, follows the Stuarts and their small, upscale hotel chain. Chestnut Poseurs and Portraits is the first novel to be released, though it begins in the middle of the story, so to speak. Why? Because there's never really a beginning or end to a family's story, and Poseurs and Portraits is a critical pivot point in the lives of the Stuarts.

Thoroughly enjoyed this story and cast of very complicated people. It's got a lot of subplots,, which make it very interesting. Howell ties them all together in a very interesting way.
