Book Description
Forest Glen, Maryland, a sleepy suburb of Washington, D.C., has weathered the arrival of the railroad, construction of a summer resort, development of a fashionable girl's finishing school, and the establishment of a U.S. Army base. Throughout these times there has always been a close-knit community of homes and people that were often overshadowed by the many diverse events and changes that prevailed here. The focal point of the community--one of only a few extant eclectic architectural follies in the United States and consisting of many international styles--is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the National Park Seminary Historic District.

Book Description
Christmastime, 1921. Four senior girls from an elite preparatory school on the outskirts of Washington, D.C., set off after a terrible storm to witness the fury of a devastating flood at the nearby glen. When they spot a dark shape pass by in the raging creek, followed by a small white dress, the possibility they were bystanders to a drowning threatens their harmonious existence. Forest Glen's National Park Seminary, with its eccentrically designed buildings, lavish gardens, and classical statuary, is a place out of step with time, a cloistered bastion of wealth and privilege isolated from the realities of life beyond its forested campus. When an enigmatic New York industrialist arrives the morning after the flood with an unexpected offer to purchase the school, the haunting mystery at the glen is compounded by the Manhattan tycoon's true designs for the property and the private demons he hopes to exorcise during his visit. "Incident at Forest Glen" is an evocative, stylish thriller exploring the tension between the rigidity of academia and societal norms and the mysticism of the foreboding and untamed natural world surrounding the school. When these worlds collide, the results are tragic for the unprepared girls.

Book Description
""Which neighborhood?" It's one of the first questions you're asked when you move to Chicago. And the answer you give - be it Bucktown, Bronzeville, or Bridgeport - can give your inquisitor a good idea of who you are, especially in a metropolis with so many different neighborhoods and suburbs to choose from." "Many of us know little of the neighborhoods beyond those where we work, play, and live. This is particularly true in Chicagoland, a region that spans over 4,400 square miles and is home to more than 9.5 million residents. Now, historian Ann Durkin Keating's compact guide, drawn largely from the bestselling Encyclopedia of Chicago, brings the history of Chicago neighborhoods to life."--BOOK JACKET.
