Are there keepsake places that dwell tenderly in our minds?

Take a nostalgic journey to Buckhorn in rural North Carolina where colorful characters live forever through spell-binding stories. Join author AlexSandra Lett for a heart-warming visit to a bygone era when her Grandpa's country store was the social center of the community.

The store is closed now, with Grandpa long gone, but the stories live on. So pull up a chair, and "set a spell."

Come on in to...A Timeless Place.

This compelling book is filled with wit and wisdom and mixed with a few tall tales and some juicy gossip about the folks who used to "set a spell" at the country store. You will meet several generations of salt-of-the-earth folks whose power lies in their unwavering belief in religion, in their strong relationships with family and friends, and in an intimate connection to the land and the Cape Fear River.

The author -- called "Sandy Lynn" when she was free-spirited and didn't fit into the traditional role of a proper Southern girl -- grew up writing, singing, and dramatizing. Later she became a public relations executive and, according to her kinfolk, got "above her raisin'" and "too big for her britches." When AlexSandra comes home for a soul-searching stay she finds genuine people with outreached arms and golden hearts. She discovers her authentic self, "Sandy Lynn," and takes an unexpected journey to her deepest dreams.

In A Timeless Place the author guides readers to an awakening about the true meaning of home and family.
