Denise’s most recent books all focus on the story of how Thanksgiving came to be a national holiday in the United States. It’s a fascinating TRUE story that encompasses the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln, and a little-known woman who was a crusading tastemaker.

There are three books in the series: one for adults (shown above), one for older kids, and one for little kids. Together, they constitute what is known in the publishing world as a “family read”—a storytelling experience for all ages.

The glittering true story behind the largest home in America. America's Downton Abbey, if you will.

Constructed in the fading days of the Gilded Age, this colossally huge, 175,000-square-foot mansion is located in none of the cities you'd imagine. Not New York. Not Newport, Rhode Island. Not Los Angeles. Not Bar Harbor, Maine. It's tucked away instead in the back hills of North Carolina against a backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
