". . . they had gone on a tour of
Holly Hill House
, the Queen Anne-style house that sat on a hill overlooking the harbor. Laura had fallen in love with it instantly when they'd arrived."
"The group reconvened on Catalina Island for two concerts that would be taped for an upcoming television special. The beautiful and historic Casino building that dominated the harbor would host the performances. Built by William Wrigley as a 'meeting place,' the original meaning of the word 'casino', the three-story round building housed an art deco theatre, the island museum, and the impressive ballroom where the concerts would take place."
