Joan Bowman’s fifty-year tale is a story that includes joy and sadness, crisis and calm, enchantment and danger. Running through all the chapters is the Island of Martha’s Vineyard.

“Under the aegis of Jan Pogue, publisher of Vineyard Stories, Ms. Bowman, now 82, has partnered with Alison Shaw, the ultra-photographer of Island mood and magic, to produce an entirely relatable story for any reader with sufficient years of life experience and an understanding of the Island’s effect on the soul.”
