Book excerpt: "Dazzling...as funny as it is poignant, nostalgic as it is sharp." —Carley Fortune, New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After A book editor spends one last summer on Fire Island in this sparkling and surprising new novel from the author of A Shoe Story. As a book editor, Julia Morse lived and breathed stories. Whether with her pen to a manuscript or curled up with a book while at her beloved Fire Island cottage, her imagination alight with a good tale, she could anticipate practically any ending. The ending she’d never imagined was her own. To be fair, no one expects to die at thirty-seven. So when the unthinkable happens to Julia, rather than following the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel, she chooses to spend one last summer near those she loves most. As she follows her adoring, novelist husband Ben to their—unexpectedly full—home on Fire Island, she discovers the ripple affect her life has had on the trajectory of so many: her baseball loving, young-at-heart neighbor who believes it’s best not to go it alone, two bright-eyed teenagers eager to become adults, and her best friend who must shake off heartbreak for a new chance at love. With poignant comedy and insight, On Fire Island is an ode to the stories all around us and to the brightest types of loves…for the people closest to you and the places that shape you.

Download or read book Saving Fire Island from Robert Moses written by Christopher C. Verga and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-25 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small coastal communities stand up to the giant of mid-20th century urban development in this chronicle of a true David and Goliath drama. With its unspoiled, tranquil shorelines, Fire Island has been an oasis for vacationers for well over a century. But from the late 1930s into the early 1960s, it was an obsession for Robert Moses, the political power broker and "master builder" who reshaped much of New York. His urban development projects helped create Long Island’s suburbs, and he dreamed of turning Fire Island into an extension of Ocean Parkway. Standing up to those ambitions were the seventeen individualistic communities of Fire Island, unified in their love for their sun-washed sandy beaches. To maintain a traditional way of life with limited access to motor vehicles, the community began the fight for federal protection through the creation of the Fire Island National Seashore.
Download or read book Reminiscing About Ocean Beach and Fire Island written by Cheryl Dunbar Kahlke and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-02-03 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The editor, Cheryl Dunbar Kahlke, has woven five written accounts about Fire Island into a very readable book, generously complemented with photographs and postcards of the 1920s to the 1940s era. The five narratives are universal in emotion and yet simultaneously immensely personal in detail. That private quality triggers the reader's sensation of a personal knowledge of the feelings and experiences of each. In addition, each tale is enhanced by that presenter's honest abandon as they penned their memories in their own vernacular and individual colloquial style.Overall, the subject matter, Fire Island, universalizes the outpourings. Factual and historic details in timelines, maps, charts, newspaper articles, and other memorabilia add to the book. These keep the stories grounded in historic reality, which is useful for those who desire a deeper background of the times.
