| Lorinda's Legacy (ISBN #
1-929202-02-4) is based on an actual
murder that occurred in Kentucky in 1909. After finding the transcript of
the 1910 murder trial in the cellar of an old courthouse, Clarissa Thomasson wrote
a fictionalized account of the murder and its aftermath. The novel
deals with multiple family tragedies that begin before the murder and
stretch into the present day as the great-granddaughter of the
victim learns of the troubled past of her grandmother and her family. Aware of their fathers' long-standing feud, fifteen-year-old Lori Beth Causey and her neighbor, Willie Phelps, must keep their romance a secret that summer of 1919. When her father, Clint, refuses to allow Lori Beth to attend a local barn dance, Willie decides to romance her plain older sister, Leah Belle, then brag about it in town. Willie's trick to embarrass Clint backfires, however, unleashing a string of tragedies. Forty years later, University of Florida co-ed, Lorinda Lockridge, begs her fiancé, Dick Everett, to take her to North Carolina to find her unknown "Grandmother Lorinda"--pictured in her locket. Dick offers to help...until Lorinda's father asks him never to let her research her roots. Years later--after her father's sudden death--Lorinda and Dick finally enter her father's hometown, Clint's Bend, North Carolina, where Lorinda's Legacy has been waiting. Key Benefits
