In the Shadows of Chimney Rock

An heiress to one of the South's lumber dynasties reaches out to her
mountain roots for solace after suffering a life-shattering blow, only to
be drawn into the race against time to save the beauty of the Hickory
Nut Gorge in Western North Carolina.

Against the backdrop of the feverish land grab by developers, and the
desperate attempts by local conservancies to stave them off, emerges
a moving story of a woman struggling to redeem the legacy of a father
she's never known. Hayden Taylor starts to heal in the womb of the
gorge and the edgy exhilaration of Asheville, never suspecting the
man who killerd her father was stalking her. Football legend, Ben
Beckham, is looking for redemption too, and tries to earn it working for
a local land trust, only to discover he's falling in love with a woman he
can't have.

Contemporary fiction writer, Rose Senehi, who is noted for weaving
environmental themes into her plots, was inspired to write In the
Shadows of Chimney Rock by her love of the Western North
Carolina mountains where she has a vacation home. This is her fourth

Southern Blue Ridge. A resident of the Murrells Inlet/Pawleys Island,
South Carolina coast, she moved to the South from Upstate New York
in 1996. Her first novel, Shadows in the Grass, was published in
2001, her second, Windfall, in 2002, and her third, Pelican Watch, in
2006.
