WHAT'S THE POINT?

The Point is the triangular piece of land where the Monongahela, Allegheny, and Ohio Rivers meet. It is the site of Pittsburgh.

We are Getting to the Point, Inc., a premier independent relocation service. Our company knows what makes the Greater Pittsburgh Region the best place to live, work, raise a family, and be part of a community. We also have a unique understanding of the moving experience.

Our most recent Point of Interest is the publication of Ten Fingers Touching.

It is a beautifully illustrated fairy tale for grownups! This romantic escape follows the love shared by Martak, the Master of the Forest and Marianna, a beautiful, maiden and governess to the impetuous young princess. Set in the Middle Ages, the story begins with the battle between Good and Evil, who meet at the intersection of three rivers! There are also additional Pittsburgh references that provide a connection to the region for those seeking to move here!

As the story unfolds, the young lovers are drawn into Good and Evil's epic conflict. Will the soulmates realize their "happily ever after?" Martak must first unravel the curse and destroy Evil. Ten Fingers Touching explores the complex nature of love and fate. It is an enchanting journey of romance, mystery and adventure. To learn more about the book click here.
