This is Carolyn's first fictional novel. It was in the computer for twenty years because of her gypsy yearnings. She has made her home moving between the marshes of Saint Augustine, Florida, and the pull of the Great Smoky Mountains in Maggie Valley, North Carolina. Her friends continually ask her to tell her entertaining stories, and now she has in The Idol's Daughter. She has incorporated Atlanta, her birthplace, and other interesting facts of her background into the story. Her earlier years were spent on the tennis court and attending classes at the High Museum of Art. Now she entertains herself with her flowers, painting, and traveling the world. Her inspiration for the book was meeting a grand old lady who was a French translator for General Pershing in the First World War.
