Enchanted Characters & Imagination

Enchanted Characters & Imagination: A Summer Journey By Don Campbell A heartfelt celebration of friendship, discovery, and the enduring magic of America's landscapes, Enchanted Characters & Imagination: A Summer Journey invites readers on an unforgettable road trip through history, music, and soul-stirring places. It begins in Bowling Green, Kentucky, where four high school graduates-Emily, Jackson, Meghan, and Carter-stand at the edge of adulthood with no plans and nowhere to be. What starts as a spontaneous idea becomes a transformative summer adventure that takes them from the neon glow of Nashville's honky-tonks to the misty peaks of the Great Smoky Mountains. Each chapter unfolds like a postcard from the heart: In Nashville, they sing at the Grand Ole Opry and bond over country legends. In Asheville, they wander the halls of the Biltmore Estate, discovering the legacy of the Vanderbilts. In Mooresville, they ride the Charlotte Motor Speedway and meet NASCAR icon Jeff Gordon. In the Outer Banks, they marvel at wild horses and reflect on the resilience of nature. In Kill Devil Hills, they stand where the Wright brothers first flew, inspired by the courage to dream. In Norfolk and Charleston, they honor military service and explore the roots of the Civil War.
