Molly Dugger Brennan is a writer and speaker who lives in the Shenandoah Valley with her husband Patrick and four ridiculously large, rescued dogs. She has many lovely childhood memories of the Blue Ridge mountains, as every family vacation – no matter the intended destination – ended up at Tweetsie Railroad in Blowing Rock. Even the trip to Philadelphia to see the Liberty Bell somehow culminated in the North Carolina mountains. You can contact her at BlueRidgeCountry.com/EmailMolly
