内容简介：
A family story from long ago about Arcadia, a very special place set in the gently rolling hills of 19th century southern Ohio. The story is told by an old man who experienced first hand some of the strange and mysterious happenings there. This mystifying and unique place was found by two children in the 1850's. Gabriel and Lorena, some say, were made for each other and this extraordinary place they named Arcadia was especially created for them. The horrors of the Civil War tore them apart for a while, but nothing, not even death could keep them from fulfilling the promises they made to each other at Arcadia, their Paradise on Earth. Although this novel is a work of fiction it contains many historical facts and depicts a way of life that will never be again.
