\"\"The Biltmore Industries Homespun Museum in Grovewood Village will host a book signing for North Carolina authors Joy Callaway and Sarah Loudin Thomas on Friday, June 14, from 1\u20133 p.m. The event is free to attend and copies of What the Mountains Remember<\/em> by Callaway and These Tangled Threads<\/em> by Thomas will be available to purchase.<\/p>\n

What the Mountains Remember<\/em> is set at the Grove Park Inn in 1931. \u201cMy novel was inspired by the 400 skilled laborers who built the Grove Park Inn, people whose contribution and craft would change the trajectory of Asheville forever to a retreat for rejuvenation and wellness and rest,\u201d says Callaway. \u201cThe spirit of my novel honors people like those who built the handwoven wool operation at Biltmore Industries.\u201d Other titles by Calloway include All the Pretty Places, The Grand Design, The Fifth Avenue Artists Society <\/em>and Secret Sisters.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"These Tangled Threads<\/em> is set at the Homespun Museum. \u201cTwo of the main characters come from Biltmore Estate Industries to the cottages when they\u2019re first built, Lorna as a master weaver, and Arthur as a woodworker,\u201d says Thomas, who worked for six years in public relations for Biltmore. \u201cAs a writer, my characters feel incredibly real to me. Getting to give a talk and do a book signing in the place where they laughed, loved, and\u2014let\u2019s face it\u2014made some poor decisions, is like getting to hang out with them in real life.\u201d Thomas is also author of 2021 Selah Book of the Year The Right Kind of Fool<\/em> and Miracle in a Dry Season,<\/em> winner of the 2015 INSPY Award.<\/p>\n

Biltmore Industries Homespun Museum is within Grovewood Village, located at 111 Grovewood Road, adjacent to and below the Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville. Gallery hours are Monday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Free parking is available onsite.
