The creative force behind Blackberry Farm, Tennessee's
award-winning farm-to-table resort, reveals how she found herself
only after losing everything in this powerful memoir of resilience.
Born with 'the gift of hospitality', Kreis Beall helped create one
of the South's most enchanting destinations, Blackberry Farm, in
Tennessee's Smoky Mountain foothills. For decades, she was a
fixture in the entertaining world and on the glossy pages of
popular home and design magazines. But beautiful exteriors and
glowing accolades papered over deep inner pain. At the pinnacle of
her success, a brain injury left her with devastating hearing loss.
That was followed by the collapse of her thirty-six-year marriage
to her best friend and business partner, Sandy Beall--and a few
years later, the tragic death of her son Sam, the proprietor of
Blackberry Farm, at age thirty-nine. Alone and desolate as her
marriage ends, Kreis begins a new journey, to find her faith and
find God. After spending years on her exterior life and work, now
she must begin the hardest undertaking of all: to reclaim her
interior life and soul. Kreis retreats to Blackberry Farm, moving
into an unassuming, 300-square foot shed with peeling paint on the
exterior walls 'where I met myself for the first time.' Out of
brokenness has come reflection, re-examination, and bit by bit,
healing and meaning. By turns fiercely honest, heartbreaking, and
warm, Kreis Beall's story will resonate with anyone who has ever
searched to find genuine beauty among their own flaws and scars.
