DESCRIPTION:
Enjoy it. All of it mallory marshall If you want to read about summers in cape cod, Nantucket, or the vineyard. Long Island, Rhode Island, or South Carolina, this is not for you. It is completely, authentically, and spot on about the State of Maine; another world where another set of values still thrives. The ch. Happy Reader said Great read. Loved this book. She makes you feel like you are right there. Descriptions are so full and vivid without being long drawn out and boring. All the characters were brought to life and you felt like you knew then all.. Love it! Joanne Nelson Read this years ago and I am reading it again. I remember LOVING it, so I am looking forward to reading it again.

Gradually, though, little Maudie gets some starch and learns to endure almost anything, including: the death of her mother-in-law (``my beloved enemy''); Peter's weird coldness to his own two children, which ultimately sends the younger, Happy, to a sanitarium; the death of a grandson;
