O knihe

Carolyn Corley Clark -- a cartoonist at age five, a writer and ilustrator of original stories at eight, speech writer at eleven and prize-winning short story writer at sixteen.When she graduated from The University of North Carolina in 1957, her Phi Beta Kappa induction topped sixteen years of straight A's, and she excelled as a radio personality before her twenty-second birthday. After marriage, Carolyn put her broadcasting career on hold to raise a family. Eventually she resumed her career, writing advertising copy for newspapers and direct mail and informercials for television, all in major markets. Later, she not only wrote advertising copy for a fine jewelry store operated by her and her husband, she also used her artistic skills to become a jewelry designer, both for clients and for sale in their store. In her seventies, she fulfilled a life-long dream to become a tour guide in historic Beaufort, South Carolina, where she retired with her husband. She wrote her own script and made period dresses to wear.
After she died in 2016, a victim of Alzheimer's disease, her husband began writing, first as a way to deal with grief. Reflecting on Carolyn's life and accomplishments, he found wonderful memories surfacing of their more than six decades together, beginning in Chapel Hill where as students they met and fell in love, and he decided to write this story. The result is a fresh, sometimes serious, sometimes humorous and always heartfelt memoir of a remarkable lady and a lasting love.
