NOTES

Do YOU remember summer vacations on Martha's Vineyard? Were you fortunate enough to bask in the warmth of the summer sun by day and drift off to sleep in comfort at night? Did thoughts of casual walks along the beach, delectable meals, recreation and entertainment by the sea, make you long to be there again? Well, beneath the hype is another story to be told. Decades ago, six young cousins spent summers with their grandmother in an old, rickety, two-bedroom cottage in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts. There, discipline ruled and privilege was a pipe dream. The Vineyard We Knew is a charming and entertaining story of life seen through the eyes of a young boy named Kevin. Through these vignettes, you will: - Experience the nuances of a humble lifestyle on Martha's Vineyard - Enjoy the unpredictable and spirited personalities of Kevin and his family - Discover how adversity strengthens character, regardless of social class or economic circumstances - Remember the beautiful link between childhood experiences and adult revelations Come and take a ferry ride back through time to Martha's Vineyard in the 1960s, where the trials and triumphs of these close-knit cousins-who find themselves stranded on an island off the coast of Cape Cod-are on full display. This book will captivate you with its enchanting story about summer life on Martha's Vineyard-a story unlike any written before. Don't wait to experience it!
