**About *Old Money***
*Old Money* is a historical love story set in Lancaster County during the expansion of the railroad. The novel follows a prominent family whose wealth and influence are tied to the development of the railway system. When the family’s daughter falls in love with a humble farmer, her father strongly opposes the relationship, believing that their differences in social standing and family expectations make a future together impossible.
As railroad tracks extend across the countryside, the family becomes caught in a period of rapid change—one shaped by ambition, progress, tradition, and loss. The story also acknowledges the presence and experiences of Native American communities affected by the expansion of the railway and the transformation of the land.
Beneath its romantic storyline, *Old Money* explores the hidden costs of wealth, the conflict between love and social class, the meaning of family loyalty, and the lasting consequences of progress. It is a story of forbidden love, generational expectations, and the secrets that powerful families often try to conceal.
