But when her stepfather’s business acquaintance, Henry Ford, invites the family on one of his famous Vagabonds camping tours, she is forced to face the hills once again—primarily in order to reunite with her future fiancé, owner of the land the Vagabonds are using for their campsite, a man she’s only met once before. It is a veritable arranged marriage, but she prefers it that way. Belle isn’t interested in love. She only wants a simple life—a family of her own and the stability of a wealthy man’s pockets. That’s what Worth Delafield has promised to give her and it’s worth facing the mountains again, the reminder of the past, and her poverty, to secure her future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut when the Vagabonds group is invited to tour the unfinished Grove Park Inn and Belle is unexpectedly thrust into a role researching and writing about the building of the inn—a construction the locals are calling The Eighth Wonder of the World—she quickly realizes that these mountains are no different from the ones she once called home. As Belle peels back the facade of Grove Park Inn, of Worth, of the society she’s come to claim as her own, and the truth of her heart, she begins to see that perhaps her part in Grove Park’s story isn’t a coincidence after all. Perhaps it is only by watching a wonder rise from ordinary hands and mountain stone that she can finally find the strength to piece together the long-destroyed path toward who she was meant to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternational bestselling author Joy Callaway returns with a story of the ordinary people behind extraordinary beauty—and the question of who gets to tell their stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-listen show\"\u003e\n\u003ca id=\"listenToAClip\" name=\"#listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-listen show\"\u003e\n\u003ca id=\"listenToAClip\" name=\"#listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44352183173368,"sku":"9781400244317ARC","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0471\/2156\/3811\/files\/whatthemountainsremember.png?v=1705526869"},{"product_id":"the-forgotten-names-arc","title":"The Forgotten Names ARC","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-about 9780525509561 isbn-related seemoreenable show opened\" id=\"seemore-0\" height-fold=\"377\" target-height=\"988\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-about 9780593100936 isbn-related seemoreenable show opened\" id=\"seemore-0\" height-fold=\"377\" target-height=\"489.333\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-about 9780451490964 isbn-related seemoreenable show opened\" id=\"seemore-0\" height-fold=\"377\" target-height=\"398.667\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-about 9780593100950 isbn-related seemoreenable show opened\" id=\"seemore-0\" height-fold=\"377\" target-height=\"648\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-body clearfix\" id=\"left-rail-top\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"seemore-0\" class=\"slot product-about 9781523004348 isbn-related seemoreenable show opened\" target-height=\"720.375\" height-fold=\"377\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"seemore-0\" class=\"slot product-about 9780143138020 isbn-related seemoreenable show opened\" target-height=\"629.844\" height-fold=\"377\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"seemore-0\" class=\"slot product-about 9781639105694 isbn-related seemoreenable show opened\" target-height=\"424.25\" height-fold=\"377\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn August 1942, French parents were faced with a horrible choice: watch their children die, or abandon them forever.
