Growing Up at Sea Level: Reflections of a Down East Girl

Lura J. Salter Hill, born in 1932, and author of the well-received The Value of Diamonds, has lovingly crafted a beautiful memoir of her years of growing up in her beloved Sea Level, North Carolina. Complete with her remembrances of mid-century coastal times Down East, home remedies, and favorite recipes, this book is sure to delight readers of all ages with a sea-level perspective!

Hill raised her five children in nearby Atlantic, NC, with the love of her life, Roderick, and also has family ties to Harkers Island, which sits just a short boat ride across the sound to the well known Cape Lookout lighthouse. While the treasured memories of such a magical childhood home place continue to inspire her, she is still a beloved inspiration to so many, including her large gaggle of children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
