    About this ebook

    This is a true story about a black couple, Ella and Marion Auther, who had a dream of starting their own black resort during the time of segregation. Jim Crow laws created a separate but equal system that was anything but equal. In what was considered the greatest nation in the world, there was no room for citizens of color to have any pleasures of life like vacationing. The Authers created an enchanting vacation resort that could rival many of the white ones. This is the story of how they made their dream resort successful and the people who helped build it.

    Author

    Dianna Cross Toran

    Dianna Cross Toran has researched Woodland Park from childhood since the family cottage by a lake in Michigan has always been in her life. But it wasn’t until she began researching Woodland Park’s origins that she found out a well-kept secret about Woodland Park. That it had been a successful black resort during segregation. Her research led her to write two historical books about Woodland Park. Still standing is an old hotel that has been empty for years. It sparked her imagination to write a mystery about an Inn that has withstood time in what used to be a segregated community. Added to that was her love of cozy murder mysteries. She has read many but there were not any main characters who were African American women like herself solving the mysteries and drove her to fill that void.
