Elizabeth Manigault has not been in the attic of her parent’s home since she was a little girl. She opens the trunk that contains the ball gown of exquisite Chinese golden silk. The dress shimmers even in the dim light of the attic. She spots a small cardboard box: written on the end is “Margaret Elizabeth Manigault – Letters 1849 – 1865.” Thus begins a voyage of discovery through Meg’s letters that carries her back to when eleven year old Meg writes to her best friend’s older brother William, a 49er in the California Gold Rush. Meg expresses a childish wish for a gown of gold. A decade later, William finally fulfills her wish, only to fall in love with the beautiful Meg wearing the fabulous gown. It also serves as her wedding dress during the Civil War that finally destroys the very way of life that it was meant to preserve. Meg stores the gown in a trunk, for in 1865, Charleston no longer has the grand events at which to wear it. There it stays for a century and a half until it finally brings Meg and Elizabeth together across the years.

Beth Kozera promised her best friend, Carrie Hansen, that she would stay and manage Stratton House in Carrie's absence. How she regrets that promise! Because Beth has no idea how to manage an event venue. Since when did brides become so demanding and grooms so lecherous? Plus, Beth can't boil water, let alone supervise a sit-down dinner for 200 guests every weekend. Thank goodness for Joshua. Or, at least, she thinks. But when Beth offers his mom a job managing the kitchen, Josh shows his patriarchal colors. So much for tall, dark and haughty. Now, her former fiance, Charles Mercer IV, is pressuring Beth to let him back into her life. Apparently the pregnant girlfriend Charlie left Beth for wasn't carrying his baby, and Charlie is convinced if he can restart a romance with Beth, he can somehow mend his life. All Beth wants to do is keep her promise to Carrie. But can every promise be kept?

'everything was proper back then' they say. as if there was no drama. but is that true? let's read this drama packed love story.

The RE÷Union roadmap includes five novels as cannon, spanning the 1830s, 40s, 50s, Civil War, and Reconstruction. We start the series with a long lost friend of the Miller family, holed up in a dilapidated cabin, nestled high in the mountains of Colorado around 1885. Staving off the symptoms of a terminal sickness, thoughts become overwhelming and reality sets in that this story is going to die too, in that old cabin, which will probably rot into nothingness, the family's secrets and hidden possessions along with it. Rummaging through crates and boxes of old artwork, journals, photographs and publications, it becomes clear how important this story is. There indeed still is a legacy to leave behind. These heroes (and a few villains) should not be relegated to the stodgy, mundane existence that the general populace insists they knew. What follows is an attempt to piece together the adventure this family shared, across the continent of America and around the world, witnessing unimaginable social and technological change, tied within a network of stunningly courageous and creative family and friends. Premise I was forced against my will to summarize the premise of RE÷Union as follows (to be used as a pitch in an elevator or some other awkward social setting): An adventurous writer-artist duo conspires to share hidden stories about explosive cultural change and westward expansion in the decades leading up to the American Civil War.

There was a girl who was born on Winter Solstice Eve. She belonged to the Noq people. The people of startling beauty with their stark silver hair and piercing Amethyst eyes.  She was a sight for sore eyes for everyone to see. Her looks alone could make anyone fall in love with her. Whether you were a Noq or not. She was just that exquisite. After she was born she was named the most gorgeous girl of them all. Some said her beauty was a gift. A power. But really, her beauty was just part of the curse that she was born with.         There was a girl, along with everyone else of the commonplace did not understand the horror that came with this child after birth. Only the Myxtes understood. They tried to warn the villages that this girl would release horror, but they had already fallen too deep. They were in love with this girl. Not realizing that it would be this very girl, twenty years later, who would ruin the peace between all peoples.         As a Noq tradition, a Myxtis was sent down every time a child in the village was born. This Myxtis would name the child and give him or her a gift.             There was a girl who was gifted the power of lithe and speed.             There was a girl who was named…Antebellum.

Hello my name is Adelaide Elizabeth Whitmore. In this journal I will talk about my life in the antebellum era.

Melanie Hansen loved her younger sister, Carrie. But when Carrie moved to Lexington, Missouri, to restore an antebellum house and open it as an event venue, Melanie was pretty sure Baby Sister had lost her mind. And then Melanie's worst fear came true: Carrie died. Melanie ignored her broken heart for as long as she could, but when a letter arrives asking her to return to Stratton House - Carrie's house - Melanie has no choice but to leave all that she knows in Seattle and travel to Missouri. All Melanie wants to do is find a buyer for Stratton House and return to Seattle. But finding a buyer isn't easy with all of the restrictions her sister and the grumpy local historian, Zach Oakes, put on the sale of the house. Plus, local residents are convinced the place is haunted so offers are few and far between. Those that are made would destroy all of Carrie's restorations. Melanie cannot allow that. Homesick and drowning in grief, Melanie finds Zach's shoulders just right for leaning on. Then a business trip to Washington, D.C. leads to a whole lot more than leaning. Whoever said historians are dull sure hasn't spent time with Zach. But when tragedy strikes, Melanie must ask: is Celebration House her home?
