In 1927 Spencer A. Wentworth, a scion of a wealthy old banking family of Long Island, New York Gold Coast, receives an urgent telegram to come home immediately. A huge responsibility of which he is not ready awaits him when he returns home from a three-year Grand Tour. As the stock market begins to collapse, he is plagued with worries that the family will lose everything including Wentworth Hall, his ancestral home. Honoring his promise to preserve it, he is determined to save Wentworth Hall at any cost even if it means losing the only woman he loves.  It is a fascinating account of the way of life long gone in the same league as Downton Abbey.

The Wentworth Legacy Kindle Cover Revised

 

Countdown is on. We have 10 days before the launch of “The Wentworth Legacy”. I’m so excited to see this book in circulation. It has been forming in my consciousness since the 80s when I became aware of my surroundings, having witnessed how the other side of the track lived.

 

Have you ever heard about the Gold Coast of Long Island? You must have. Do you remember “The Great Gatsby”? Well, that whole area of the North Shore of Long Island is famous for big estates during the Gilded Age? It is the setting of “The Wentworth Legacy”.

 

Do you miss the “Downton Abbey” yet? I’m sure you do. We don’t have the aristocracy in the United States. But we have the old money who can come as close to the aristocracy as you can be. Spencer A Wentworth is from the old money.

Where did you get ideas for your novel “The Wentworth Legacy”?

I have been asked a few times where will I get my ideas for my writings. For my next book, “The Wentworth Legacy“, I have been toying about the idea of writing about the upper crust of Long Island for a long time. They are mostly WASP. For those who do not know what that is, WASP stands for White Anglo Saxon Protestant. My husband’s family is a WASP although my husband goes to a Catholic Church with me since we got married. I  also married a Morgan. I have been asked often enough, “Any relation to J.P. Morgan?” The answer is “My husband’s family was here first. 1650s I believe.” Or “I won’t be working if he was”. Why people asked about that, I have no idea.

What makes a marriage to a Morgan different from any other marriage?

First, I was exposed to the lifestyle of the old money which I had no idea when I got married. They are different. They dress, talk, and act differently and they are comfortable in their own skin. They can be at ease with a garbage man or the Queen of England. They know how to act and behave in public. They don’t put airs. They know they do not have to prove anything to anybody. They are very confident about themselves. It’s a different world out there for those born to it. I had a lot of adjustments to do when I married one.

As I started my journey as a writer, I began to think why not write something about them and who is better qualified to edit my manuscript than my husband who was born among them though a poor relation. His family only had seven servants when he was growing up.

And so “The Wentworth Legacy” was born.
