Mounthaven
Mounthaven is a multi-layered tale. Four generations and a hundred years of a Virginia family that, having survived the Civil War, acquires a derelict mansion and surrounding acreage called Mounthaven. The year is 1903.

Thus it becomes the story of Marys elder son, Edmund Carter Stokes and his Yankee but wealthy bride, as Ed, using Mounthaven as a base, struggles to complete the mission laid upon him by his mother-- to restore the family to the place in society it occupied before the war while Eds own son, Carter, flounders to free himself from these very values, for most of which Mounthaven serves as a decaying metaphor.
