Editorial : About the Author Melissa Miles is a descendant of both the Ross and Wade families, giving her a unique interest in the events at Prospect Hill. This is a story that she's dreamed of writing about for quite a while. Mrs. Miles grew up all around the Southeast as a "red-headed preacher's kid" so it is hard to hurt her feelings!
