Set in the beautiful North Carolina Mountains, Divided Pathways opens in the late 1800's, as Quentin Diamond is building his majestic new estate for his wife and their son, John Paul. Quentin built "Tranquility" with many bedrooms to hold the sons and daughters that he and Margaret would never have. Instead of a home filled with love and laughter, one fateful night leaves young John Paul with a lifetime of questions, loss and a growing hatred for anyone named Holler. John Paul raised his daughter, Maggie, with stories of the bad blood between the Diamond and Holler families. But nothing he taught her prepared her, or her heart, for meeting Eben Holler. Divided Pathways is a story of the consequences of kept secrets and forbidden love and how it affects three generations of the Diamond family.
