Today the Outer Banks is one of America's most popular vacation destinations, welcoming millions of visitors each year. Like Walt Disney World or Las Vegas, the initial ideas around what is today a glittering vacation capital were, at one point, nothing more than a shared vision of what was possible. A series of dreamers fired the engines of the popular attraction to this scattering of sandy islands that resonates across much of the Eastern United States today. Author and Outer Banks native Clark Twiddy chronicles the region's journey from isolation to popularity through the stories of these innovators and risk-takers.

Though they occupy different universes in New Orleans, somehow all roads bring Kate and Julia to the same place . . . back to The District. As lush and provocative as New Orleans is itself, Storyville sweeps across lines of caste and blood, money, and desire—and into the voluptuous secrets of a city tempting as any on earth. "The novel's atmosphere is redolent of honeysuckle and jasmine, café brûlot and cinnamon buns."—Newsday
