Pozlacený měsíc – Lake Joy Jordan (2022)

In North Carolina, the construction of the magnificent Biltmore House for the Vanderbilt family is nearing completion. It is an astonishing example of privilege in the United States at the end of the nineteenth century and symbolizes the desires of its owner as well as the dreams of the ambitious girl Kerry living in the shadow of the estate. Kerry MacGregor's future is shaken to its core when family obligations call her home to the Appalachian Mountains after two years of studying in New York. She returns to her family farm, which is one of the last pieces needed to complete the Biltmore estate, and is determined to fight for her land until her last breath. However, her fate may be complicated by something more powerful than the ambitious Vanderbilt heir, as one by one, other intruders descend upon the changing landscape – a refugee from Sicily, a reporter chasing a groundbreaking story, a scandal-plagued young woman, and an environmentalist ready to go to any lengths to stir up anger and animosity among the locals. Kerry finds herself in a war between wealth and poverty, innocence and corruption, and to survive, she must conquer not only her own pride and despair but also the temptation of money and the men who wield it.
