{"product_id":"love-deception-in-carolina","title":"Love \u0026 Deception in Carolina","description":"Product Description      Building a life in the marshlands of coastal North Carolina in the mid-1860s was never easy for anyone. Mary Whearthon, a gently bred young Christian lady from the city, found herself in these marshlands with the man she loved. She faced many trials and tribulations but never looked back. Her story is one of courage, strength, love and faith. Brittie, one of Mary’s daughters, suffers pain and untold difficulties, even after Timothy Carmel comes into her life. Together they learn what deception can create in a family. This is the first two of five stories of the Jones\/Carmel families; beginning in the eighteen- sixties and taking their stories to the early nineteen- seventies. These stories contain love, hardships, murder, deception, war and rising above it all as a family.      About the Author      Ila Clements has previously published two novels and now comes her Carolina Sagas - a work she is proud of. The first two stories are between the covers of this book and will be followed by at least three more. Ila grew up in the area she writes about. She is a \"salt water lady\" and proud of her heritage and roots. Although it has been many years since she lived in coastal eastern North Carolina, it will always be \"home\" to her. She also spent many years in Florida, and lived abroad for a year. Her husband, John, is retired and a native of Arkansas and they now live in the north central part of his home state. They have children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to round out their lives.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1466294701\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.1466294701.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Clements, Ila\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in good condition with very minimal damage.
