One phone call is all it takes to lure Mallory Aldiss back to her family’s Rhode Island beach home. It's been twenty years since she's been gone—running from the scandal that destroyed her parents' marriage, drove her and her two sisters apart, and crushed her relationship with the love of her life, Jack Sabathian. Twenty years during which she lived in New York, building her career as a photographer and raising her now teenage daughter Joy. But that phone call makes it clear that something has brought the past forward again—something involving Mallory’s father. Compelled by concern for her family and by Joy’s wish to visit her mother’s childhood home, Mallory returns to Bay Bluff, where conflicting loyalties will be faced and painful truths revealed. In just seven watershed days at the Rhode Island shore, she will test the bonds of friendship and family—and discover the role that love plays in defining their lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philip L. Fradkin, one of California’s most acclaimed environmental historians, felt drawn to the coast as soon as he arrived in California in 1960. His first book, California: The Golden Coast, captured the wonder of the shoreline’s natural beauty along with the controversies it engendered. In The Left Coast, the author and his photographer son Alex Fradkin revisit some of the same places they explored together in the early 1970s. From their written and visual approaches, this father-son team brings a unique generational perspective to the subject. Mixing history, geography, interviews, personal experiences, and photographs, they find a wealth of stories and memorable sights in the multiplicity of landscapes, defined by them as the Wild, Agricultural, Residential, Tourist, Recreational, Industrial, Military, and Political coasts. Alex Fradkin’s expressive photographs add a layer of meaning, enriching the subject with their distinctive eloquence while bringing a visual dimension to his father’s words. In this way, the book becomes the story of a close relationship within a probing study of a varied and contested coastline.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rockaway Memories: Growing up in Rockaway Beach, Long Island By: Joseph Daniel Murphy A national treasure of family life on Rockaway Beach, Long Island in the 1920’s – 1930’s through WWII. A captivating story written by Joseph Daniel Murphy, a WWII naval officer. Life lessons about family, compassion, faith, determination, and survival—from a member of the “Greatest Generation”. A deeply personal story of one young man growing up in the early 1920’s and 1930’s in the Belle Harbor section of Rockaway Beach, Long Island. Life was dramatically different than the hustle and bustle of families living in New York City which was just thirty miles away. In the remote location of the Long Island Peninsula and Belle Harbor, very few families had automobiles and public transportation was a long and time-consuming process. As a result, people didn’t leave their small neighborhoods or their Atlantic Ocean playground very often. Everyone watched out for one another and took care of each other. Growing up in Rockaway in the 1920’s-1930’s provides the framework of what helped shape and build the gentlemen and officer Joseph would become. It is a self-written memoir of essential life lessons of family, community, service, and survival during a period of history that challenged America’s grit and produced the “Greatest Generation”. The ‘Great Depression’ was an economic challenge to every American. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal helped rebuild America, and his ‘Fireside Chats’ calmed everyone’s fears and gave the American people a reason to believe that life would become better with new opportunity. A resident of Long Island, and one of three boys, Joe fondly recalls his life and the best of times growing up in Belle Harbor. This is a story of hardship and hope. On December 7, 1941, Japan launched a devastating surprise attack from the air and the sea on Pearl Harbor and initiated WWII. This event challenged every American to his very core. It was to become a time of service and sacrifice, with every American doing their part to support the war effort from home and abroad. Joseph D. Murphy at age twenty, served as one of the youngest commissioned Naval Officers aboard the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid in the United States Pacific Fleet during WWII. The USS INTREPID was the flagship of Task Group 38.2 led by Admiral William (Bull) Halsey. This treasured memoir is of Joe’s pre-war childhood on Rockaway Beach, Long Island through the end of WWII.
Download or read book Without Headlights written by R.J. Wasser and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014-08-20 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Fresh Hell waits within the pages that are ahead of you? What wisdom can you draw from the experiences of a more than travelled explorer of the world? This collection of poems is exactly that; the collection of wisdom, experiences and lessons learned by RJ Wasser over the course of the last decade which included heartbreak, multiple combat deployments and more insanity than most people see in a lifetime. Poetry and prose have often been used for cathartic reasons but this collection of writings is undoubtedly more of a confession to deeds desires and capers that most could barely imagine. So what Hell does wait within these pages? Is there a peaceful serenity to the story or does the rabbit hole continue to fall farther and farther into an almost willful madness?
Download or read book Virginia Beach written by Amy Waters Yarsinske and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few would guess from looking at the resplendent Virginia Beach shoreline-its stretches of fine sand, sloping dunes, and rolling waves-that the city has experienced anything but peace and tranquility since the history of its native Chesapeake tribe collided with the ambition and vision of new European settlers on the colonial coastline. But turmoil and conflict, as well as progress and achievement, are all a part of the area's unique story. Virginia Beach: A History of Virginia's Golden Shore brings to life the people, places, and events that contributed to the city's celebrated reputation. Through stories and memories, readers are introduced to the varied citizens who called this land home, including such characters as Sarah Offley who married three of early Virginia's most powerful settlers, and to the city's illustrious visitors. This volume also details, in both word and image, the influential resort age, which began in 1880 and saw the community flourish as people flocked to the Atlantic shore to dance, picnic, and enjoy the surf at the Princess Anne Hotel. Everyday vacationers mingled with notables such as Alexander Graham Bell and John, Lionel, and Ethel Barrymore at the landmark hotel with the railroad at its front door. Although little of the golden shore remains unchanged, modern residents continue to preserve what they can-especially their memories, pride, and love for the city.
Download or read book Lyrical and Lovely Thoughts written by J. Kirby Smith and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-11-18 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Its not for me to say exactly how bad or good this poetry is, that of course would be pretentious. I have to say and must say, however, that I feel this is at least very authentic, legitimate verse. Almost all of it rhymes, yet, I like to think it has a voice and attempts a kind of mellifluous flow, if you will {if you will} Its been very painful over the years, to witness insincere pseudo poetry sometimes thrive because of its authors name recognition while someone like myself with no public saliency is ignored by so called traditional publishers. Its very irritating. Therefore, Im giving it one shot with AuthorHouse and will, if not successful, go back to being merely a pauper, a peasant, a pawn and a poker player! In the opening poem, The Vicissitude of the Storm, the gossamer threads represent spider webs blowing in the wind. If Ive ever accidentally written a perfect poem, that would be The Season, in this volume. Its not a very long poem but the alliteration, I like to think, creates an astonishingly nuanced yet heart throbbing winter romance scene. In, A Stone in a Pond, I try to convey the sadness I feel of how a baby is often adored by people standing near it who see it through their egos. But when it becomes less amorphous, grows into something possibly wonderful yet different then them; it is scorned for not meeting their specific expectations. I havent written any more poetry for many many years because of becoming weary of fighting unreceptive publishers. Yet, Ive read and adored many sincere poets like Poe and Keats. The movie Bright Star about John Keats and his love interest, Fanny Brawne, touched me deeply. And I like to think, I too, have a little something to say
Download or read book The Strange Sad War Revolving written by Luke Mancuso and published by Camden House. This book was released on 1997 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysis of Whitman's reflection of civil rights legislation in his work, 1865-1876. Walt Whitman's prolific Reconstruction project has remained the most uncultivated decade in Whitman studies for over a century. This first book-length analysis seeks to point the way for a needed recovery of Whitman's 1865-1876 publications by embedding them in the legislative discourse of black emancipation and its stormy aftermath. The supposed absence of race relations in Whitman's post-war texts has recently become a source of curiosity and denunciation. However, from 1865 to 1876, the Congressional 'workshop' was seeking to forge interracial civil rights legislation through surveillance of the implementation of such egalitarianism, as manifested in the Civil War Amendments, the Enforcement Acts of 1870-71, and the Civil Rights Act of 1875. The analysis of the hegemonic shift in Whitman's implementation of his democratic poetics constitutes the innovative contribution in these pages. By welcoming ex-slaves into the Union, as well as ex-Rebel states, Whitman's Reconstruction texts enlisted his representations in the federalizing rhetoric of civil rights protection that would lapse for almost a century, before recovery in the Second Reconstruction of the 1950s and 1960s.
