What is the connection between Edward Wright, builder and first owner of Woodland Hall on Maryland's Eastern Shore, and Julia Morgan, designer of Hearst Castle(R) in San Simeon, California? Travel through the centuries and watch subsequent family owners go to any lengths necessary to save their family home from the clutches of outsiders -- such as greedy step-mothers, and anyone, however close -- who would try to rob them of their birthright: the home that has remained family-owned since Edward Wright built it, circa 1782.
