Overview:

Lorna Blankenship is a master weaver, her talent in weaving extraordinary but she is lacking in the creativity part. Gentry is very young and doesn’t have the patience she needs for weaving but she has the most beautiful patterns-where and who did these patterns come from? Could Lorna somehow take these as her own and fulfill her commission for the Biltmore family? And Arthur, a talented woodcarver whose heart belongs to Lorna-will he have to settle for simple friendship from this woman that he loves? The Biltmore Estate and the Blue Ridge Mountains are the background for this tale of friendship made of three cords, set in the early 1900’s.
