George and Ike Simmons returned home from WWII as celebrated War Heroes, at least in Clearwater County. At Home in Clearwater depicts the growing up years in the lives of the Simmons kids. It weaves a tale of romance, small-town gossip, compassion and humor, as George and Chassity, and Ike and Emma Simmons, with help from Aunt Mamie and Grandmother Marie, strive to build character and instill values of honesty, integrity, and compassion in their children. This task is carried out in the face of racial prejudice and small-town jealousy.
The Simmonses are an unusual family. Each in their own way exhibits servants hearts, love of family, home, country, and a strong Christian faith. They make a full circle in this writing, with each in their own way contributing. The period covered by this story was a period of upheaval in America. Integration was in full bloom, the peace movement and the Vietnam War, The Kennedy and King assignation took place during this period. George Simmons has his hands full as he guides Clearwater through safe passage during this era. Ike Simmons comes of age and aids George as he charts the course through integration of Clearwater schools. Chassity, Mamie, and Woodrow are in the middle of everything; each contributing.
"In 1924, George and Ike Simmons lived just three hundred yards apart physically, but economically, socially, and racially they were separated by a vast chasm of racial prejudice. George is from a wealthy, former plantation family. Ike is the son of the domestic help at the big house. Can their families overcome racial barriers to develop lifelong friendships? Family tragedy, courage, faith, honor and a servants heart in both men leaves an interesting trail. Marrying the right women turns out to be a very important key."
