Rosa's Castle

De: Deanna Edens

Narrado por: Carol Herman

Samuel Taylor Suit was a dashing figure in West Virginian society - a man who made his fortune distilling whiskey. An investor in the growing railroad industry, he played host to US presidents. And when he fell in love, he fell hard. Rosa Pelham was almost two decades younger than Suit, who courted her unsuccessfully for five long years.

Then, in 1883, he found the chink in Rosa’s romantic armor. She dreamed of living in a castle. Suit vowed to build her one if she accepted his proposal. He was as good as his word, and Berkeley Castle became part of West Virginian history. Some say the story of Rosa and her castle ended badly, with heartache, financial ruin, and insanity.

Some darkly hint that vengeful ghosts now walk the halls of Berkeley Castle, tormented by secret misdeeds.Others tell a different tale - one of love and courage in the face of changing fortunes. Rosa’s Castle tells this tale - a dazzling “what if” based on one of America’s most striking love stories. As for ghosts...well, not all are vengeful shades. Some haunt out of love for those they left behind.
