Saint Charles is a small community in Bear Lake Valley. The town sits on the Idaho-Utah border just off Highway 89 and is the inspiration for our fantastical place called Windy Ridge.
The story takes place in the fifties. An American family with Scottish roots built their homes in a mountain valley at the top of Jacob's Canyon Road. There are six houses: Mountain House, Grandma and Grandpa's cottage named Kings X by the kids, Castle Rock, River Rock Place, Glass Tower, and Lutz Lake House.
There are six main characters who are close cousins: Chrystal, Alex, Reigny, Glitter, Windy, Snowy, and Ismond, commonly known as the Ridge Kids.
Most of their adventures start or end on Windy Ridge. The mountain loves the family and provides for it. Summer has boating on the blue, blue water of Bear Lake; autumn brings the dancing scarecrow and fireworks; winter has skiing, snowshoeing, skating, and mystery; and spring brings reflection and redemption.
Windy Ridge is the beloved home of their collective youth. They find love and security there as well as adventure and danger as they choose to travel forbidden roads.
