I wanted to write about the people history often overlooks, Not the politicians or millionaires, but the cooks, carpenters, and small business owners who actually built communities”
ORLANDO, FL, UNITED STATES, September 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Tim Pilkington's upcoming novel, The White House Hotel, tells the story of a makeshift family forming around a small hotel during the Great Depression. Set at Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks, the book follows an unlikely group including a Tulsa cop's son, his Cherokee friend, a woodworking craftsman, restaurant cooks and servers - among others - as they build lives and businesses and community.— Pilkington says
This isn't your typical historical fiction. Pilkington focuses on the everyday people who shaped Lake Ozark, Missouri, showing how community forms in tough circumstances. The White House Hotel becomes the heart of their world, where friendships, rivalries, and romances play out against the backdrop of the 1930s through WWII.
The White House Hotel will be available in hardcover, paperback, and e-book formats wherever books are sold. Pre-orders will open soon.
