Olympia Devine, Author
Historically, Mar-a-Lago has hosted royalty, statesmen and international political leaders. President Donald J. Trump, continues this tradition at this world-class club. A property described aptly within the thousands of mosaic tiles placed during Mrs. Post's ownership bearing the words, "Plus Ultra," Spanish for "Beyond the Ultimate."
Author, Olympia Devine attributes the inspiration of this book not only to her time spent at Mar-a-Lago, but especially to her son, the late Troy Alexander Devine (1980-2013), with whom she began their third book, Palm Beach: a Community Tribute. She completed and published his work in 2015. It quickly became a Palm Beach best seller. “My late son's legacy and his wish for the continuation of his creative work has given rise to so much more that needs to be told — about a special town and its amazing historical figures, both past and present."
