Agent: Jonathan Clements, Wheelhouse Literary. : The One True Love of Alice-Ann (9781496422347) by Everson, Eva Marie and a great selection of similar New, Used and Collectible Books available now at great prices. In Alice, she has created a sweet teen protagonist. Eva Marie Everson is an award-winning speaker and author of The Road to Testament, Things Left Unspoken, This Fine Life, Chasing Sunsets, Waiting for Sunrise. Everson (Five Brides) beautifully captures the fickle, inexplicable nature of human emotion in this sob-inducing romantic tale. Eva Marie Everson has written a touching and compelling story of following Gods plan versus our own desires. As Mack’s place in her heart slowly fades, or transforms, she receives an unexpected call from the Pacific that shakes her world and forces her to make a choice. When her best friend’s brother, Carlton Hillis, returns from the war badly injured, Alice-Ann becomes his caregiver, never expecting to care more deeply for him.
She savors his letters, and when news of his death reaches her, she struggles to let go of her childhood love. Mack enlists and promises to write, but never broaches the subject of his feelings for Alice-Ann, leaving her to wonder whether her love is returned.
But when Pearl Harbor is attacked, the build-up of war stuns the town and puts her plans on hold. She wants to be seen as a woman and is in love with her brother’s best friend, Mack she plans on confessing her love to him. Living in non-glamorous, small-town Georgia in the 1940s does nothing to satisfy 16-year-old Alice-Ann’s longing for beauty and maturity.
