Trouble Finds Little Miss Perfect
A GOOD OLE SOUTHERN GIRL!
Here’s the true story of a Texas woman raised with values and morals and to be respectful of authority. However, she was also forced to bottle up her emotions, keep quiet about what happened at home, and to grin and bear it when life got tough.
HER UPBRINGING PREPARED HER TO MARRY A NARCISSIST!
He showered her with compliments, doted on her, and gave her endless gifts. He then began to manipulate her, isolate her, and control her behavior – for her own good since he knew what was best for her. She couldn’t read the signs of narcissism until it was too late!
WEALTH AND EXTRAVAGANCE
His ego knew no bounds; after all, he knew how to make money, and lots of it. They lived on an estate worth $3.6 million today. They owned an exotic farm on 1,000 acres with zebras, buffalo, elk, rams, deer, wild boar, and anything else one would want to hunt. They had luxury cars, such as G-Wagons and H1 Hummers. They had 2 Chaparral boats. They vacationed wherever they wanted.
GREED AND GOD
Ambition isn’t bad, but greed corrupts the hearts of men. Nothing was ever enough for him. He was indicted on a real estate investment scheme that victimized more than 330 individuals worth millions of dollars and faced 45 years in prison. Without her knowledge of his dealings and only doing what she was told, she was indicted, too!
With no hope in sight, she reached out to God... but could even He rescue her from the determined prosecutors who wanted to put her behind bars? Could He find a way when there was no way out? Could He grant a mother the freedom to raise her boys?
Shelley Carter’s story of the rise and fall of a wealthy family will shock and awe you, but it will mostly remind you that when all hell breaks loose, to Trust in God.

Shelley, I am beyond happy for you and how everything has turned out, despite the terrible circumstances you endured. I love that you were able to share your story; it’s incredibly important, and I hope it inspires other women to break free from similar situations or avoid them altogether. I’m truly so thrilled for you and know that you and the boys will go on to accomplish amazing, wonderful things. 🩶
