Résumé :
Star Castle It was the year of his lord 989 AD Knight Gerrit Van Gesterte leaned on his two hands that were resting on the recently finished top wall of Ster Kasteel. It had taken ten years to get the castle built to this point. He was looking down to the river that was crowded by the many merchant vessels going up and down the river. He planned on building a nest egg collecting taxes on those merchant vessels that would carry him and his family well into the future. More than one thousand years later, , a Machiavellian realtor, Vajen de Vries leaned on her two hands resting on the same wall. She had killed the last owner of Star Castle so that she could take ownership. She looked down to the river and thought about the money she would make when she got final ownership. Lisa Roberts rested her two hand on almost the same spot that Knight Gerrit Van Gesterte had rested his. She looked down at the river and the boat passing by and then lifted her eyes to take in the flat colorful farms that flowed seamlessly to the far horizon. She knew that she had found the place where she and her family could spend the rest of their lives as they revitalized Star Castle and brought it back to its former glory. Lisa had searched far and wide for a project that her entire family could be engaged for the rest of their lives. Her feeling of being overwhelmed by the hectic and stressful success of every member of the family and the wonderful memory of a much simpler life that she had experienced growing up had prompted her to find a family project that would free all of them up to focus on the joys of each day. One small ad in the New York paper caught her eye. She convinced her family to take a vacation in the Netherlands and to visit the castle. Once at the castle they encounter Vajen's attempt to discourage the purchase to her. The help of the young, enthusiastic and very helpful grounds keeper makes the decision to purchase easy. The family embraces the idea of making Star Castle into a destination bed and breakfast. Vajen directs a group of thugs to assault Lisa's daughters and offers a reward for broken bones or disfiguring knife wounds. The attack is foiled by the two daughters as they wield their Black belt capabilities and defeat the six thugs that attack them. The family thrives. The daughters marry, the family grows, the castle is brought back to its former glory. The entire family stands on the same wall as the ancient knight and take in the glorious sunset as the children run and play....
