For generations, a grand estate house was the crowning glory of over three thousand acres of Iowa farm land and golden corn fields. Named Aurelia, it was a monument to matriarch Lavinia Hathaway's dream to elevate the family name - no matter what she had to destroy in the process. It was a desperation that wrought the downfall of the Hathaways.

Review:

It would be fallacy as much as clich� to describe Ms Davy as a star of the future as The Legacy of Eden shows, she is a talent who is already very much here. We Love This Book

A haunting tale, beautifully written. An impressive debut Sarah Winman, bestselling author of When God Was a Rabbit

Totally gripping this is a seriously impressive debut Lindsay Frankel, Red Magazine

Combine Daphne DuMaurier with Jane Smiley, and you'll get The Legacy of Eden. This dark tale of a golden farm family is a wonderfully Gothic read. --Jenna Blum, bestselling author of Those Who Save Us and The Stormchasers
