Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe's Southern-set classic Beach House Memories, the sequel to The Beach House, now a Hallmark Channel movie starring Andie MacDowell! Autumn brings haunting beauty to the sun-soaked dunes on Isle of Palms, where Lovie Rutledge lives in her beloved Primrose Cottage. As seasons change, Lovie remembers one special summer… In 1974, America is changing, but Charleston remains eternally the same. When Lovie married aristocratic businessman Stratton Rutledge, she turned over her fortune and fate to his control. But she refused to relinquish one thing: her family’s old seaside cottage. Precious summers with her children are Lovie’s refuge from social expectations and her husband’s philandering. Here, she is the “Turtle Lady,” tending the loggerhead turtles that lay eggs in the warm night sand and then slip back into the sea. In the summer of ’74, biologist Russell Bennett visits to research the loggerheads. Their shared interest soon blooms into a passionate, profound love—forcing Lovie to face an agonizing decision. Stratton’s influence is far-reaching, and if she dares to dream beyond a summer affair, she risks losing her reputation, her wealth, even her children. This emotional tale of a strong woman torn between duty and desire, between tradition and change, is an empowering journey through the seasons of self-discovery. Until this autumn, this time of winds and tides, of holding on and letting go…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advance praise for Memories of the Beach: "Lorraine O’Donnell Williams has given us a charming and evocative memoir of the Beach district six or seven decades ago, when it was a separate world in the southeast corner of Toronto. Everyone who knew the Beach that was, and everyone who knows the Beach of today, will enjoy her account of growing up in that special place." – Robert Fulford, author of Accidental City: The Transformation of Toronto "In this richly rendered memoir of a Catholic girl growing up in Toronto’s Beach community in the 1930s and 1940s, Lorraine Williams not only vividly captures the feeling of a more innocent age, but at the same time touches on a universal truth – that the place in which we are nurtured forms an integral part of the person we become. Simply wonderful." – Michael Bedard, author of the Governor General Award-winning Redwork In this rare combination of history and memoir, Lorraine O’Donnell Williams details life within Toronto’s Beach community in the 1930s and ’40s from the vantage point of her front verandah, which abutted the boardwalk. Her extensive research has uncovered numerous hidden facets of the heritage of this exceptional neighbourhood, including the stories of what was in its time one of North America’s most remarkable amusement parks, the popular dance hall, and how the area was transformed from cottage to urban living.

Book excerpt: THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION! "Original, sparkling bright, and layered with feeling."--Sally Thorne, author of The Hating Game A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters. Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast. They're polar opposites. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer's block. Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She'll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he'll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really.

Download or read book Palm Beach written by Augustus Mayhew and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural columnist and architectural historian Augustus Mayhew's revealing and entertaining essays portray Palm Beach's larger-than-life characters, bigger-than-ever mansions and stranger-than-fiction pursuits. Focused on the fine line between illusion and reality so often blurred at Palm Beach, the book explores the town's standing as a rarefied destination where extravagance and excess are commonplace, upheld by successive generations who have built their own Taj Mahals while partaking of all the splendors Worth Avenue offers. This detailed volume chronicles Palm Beach's unique ever-changing landscape from its origin as a remote tropical refuge to its transformation into an international resort playground that recreated itself as an exclusive residential enclave. New insights into Paris Singer and the building of the Everglades Club are gained from previously undiscovered research materials and archival sources in the United States and England. Our awareness and appreciation of Otto Kahn's role in the founding of Palm Beach's exclusive clubs are enriched by his diaries, account ledgers and correspondence found among the Otto H. Kahn Papers at Princeton University's Firestone Library. On a lighter note, Judge James R. Knott's wedding diary documents the numerous at-home ceremonies he performed, taking the reader inside the world of private Palm Beach where guests were asked to hum "Here Comes the Bride." Considering Palm Beach's fondness for distractions, the book also delves into the resort's passion for aviation, dancing, portraits, movie-making, marriage and divorce. Comprised of essays originally published at the New York Social Diary, Palm Beach Daily News and Palm Beach Life magazine, this new collection is illustrated with numerous historical photographs.
