Bexley


Book Description

Founded in 1908, Bexley is one of the earliest suburbs of Columbus, but it was settled by Native Americans long before Ohio became a state and Columbus its capital. Bexley packs a wealth of history and culture into less than two and a half square miles. It has been home to governors, award-winning authors, artists, movie stars, business leaders, and a famed aviatrix. Bexley has a long history of diversity and inclusion, welcoming people of all faiths and ethnicities. Hemmed in on all sides by the city of Columbus, Bexley has still been able to maintain a unique economic vitality characterized by businesses of all types for over 100 years. Just as notable is the citys wide array of churches and synagogues, as well as high-quality public and private educational institutions, including Capital University, that educate students from grammar school through graduate studies.

Entitled


Book Description

Meredith Cunningham had led a charmed life and been financially supported by her parents through private school, University and well into adulthood. She had established herself as a successful businesswoman who expected everyone to do what she wanted. This had worked quite well for her until her parents, Ken and Margaret, made a life changing decision. They had their property on the market and the price would be sufficient to buy a luxury motor home in which to travel around Australia. They felt it was time they did what they wanted to do, not what their daughter thought they should. The idea of supporting herself financially was not attractive to Meredith and she set out to find someone who would keep her in the manner she thought she deserved. Foster Browne was chosen and pursued by her because he was good-looking, successful and they made a handsome couple who would be featured in the social pages. Foster did not know the real Meredith and was dazzled by her sophistication and immaculate presentation. Her relentless spending caused him great distress and he made a decision that would end this relationship. Meredith then found herself facing a lifestyle she had not even known existed nor did she have the skills to cope with her new reality.
