Quoting from the writings of two men connected closely with the city--Thomas Wolfe, a native, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, a visitor, Kruse captures the feel of Asheville during a period of American excess--the 1920s--followed by the crash of the 1930s.

Abstract:
West Asheville is on the other side of the French Broad River from downtown. It had become a place of abandoned buildings on Haywood Street and dying bungalows on side streets. In 1999, April Moon Harper left her chef's job in Atlanta to return home. There she and her mother, Belinda Raab, decided to open a restaurant.

Melville recounts how the restaurant helped \"to ignite the neighborhood's rebirth.\"
