Several years ago, my sisters and I visited the quaint sister towns of New Hope, Pennsylvania and Lambertville, New Jersey. While there, the three of us stayed at a bed and breakfast called Chimney Hill Estate<\/a> in a cozy second floor bedroom with dormer windows that overlooked the property. I love old houses, and the old house at Chimney Hill struck me as particularly wonderful.<\/p>\n

My sisters and I had a lovely time together that weekend; shopping, eating out, driving through the wooded and rolling landscape bright with fall foliage.<\/p>\n

I was thoroughly charmed by the history, character, and tasteful beauty of the towns, the land, and our B&B. All of the above stayed alive in my memory, and later, inspired the setting of My Stubborn Heart.<\/p>\n

It gives me more freedom as an author to set my books in fictional towns, so I changed Lambertville\u2019s name to Redbud (a tree native to that part of the country that has a heart-shaped leaf). And I re-imagined the house where we\u2019d stayed as Chapel Bluff — the beloved old home that had been passed down through Kate\u2019s family for generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
