Three generations of one family journaled through memoirs and experiences. One portion of the book follows the correspondence of a young woman and her friends, linking over two hundred postcards sent in the early 1900's. Highlights of the fifties gleaned from family activities remind the reader of what used to be. Another section of the book describes a non-traditional choice of living aboard a boat to travel the East Coast waterways. Readers align themselves with strong family values found in this Southern family testament.
A sequel to the first collection, this book deals with life passages: becoming a grandparent, losing friends and family, dealing with illness, retirement, pain and joy. Dodd jokingly refers to this as her "over-the-hill" book. Using both experience and delicacy, she describes emotions and middle age survival . The short stories and memoirs explore the trials and exhileration associated with life's turning point The book compiles several of Dodd's award winning stories and poems.
A young girl visits her grandfather for the summer on the North Carolina Outer Banks. He's a crusty old fisherman set in his ways. Coral Austin, Rachel's high society grandmother wants more to say about the visit.
A pair of twins, a recluse, a hurricane, a village baker, and a dead crabber link their adventures. The Island will never be the same. This book is a good weekend read.
Quinn Winslow would like nothing better to do than to retire to her birthplace, renew old friendships, garden, volunteer at her church and the domestic abuse center and catch up on her baking of family recipes, but that's not easy. Three men: her ex-husband, a childhood sweetheart and a new neighbor are vying for her attention, as well as her new friends in an investment club. Quinn discovers several senior citizens in her area have had fatal accidents and she's determined to find a serial killer before she becomes his next victim!
