Jennifer L. Place
Journey's End, my most recent book, was inspired by the Vanderbilt mansion in Hyde Park, NY. I used to go there with my grandmother when I was young and walk around the gardens. The house and gardens and views are beautiful year round. My grandmother has always been proud of her Irish roots (she's half Irish - a very important half, she would tell me), and I combined these two things together into one story - the house and grounds and my Irish heritage (even though I am only 1/8 Irish).
