This second book in Marie’s Gilded Series is an exciting journey through the historical past of her hometown of Newport, Rhode Island. For years, she has wanted to write about Newport’s storied Gilded Age history and the glorious summer “cottages” that are managed today by the Preservation Society of Newport County. Visit to the society’s website at newportmansions.org to experience the grandeur for yourself. Marie loves all the amazing houses, but The Breakers is her favorite. Several of the houses referred to in this book were given fictional names, such as the Nelson and Russell homes, which didn’t actually exist.
