Book-a-Day #Giveaway! The Ferry Home by Debbie Tillinghast

 

“You can almost smell the salt air and hear the waves lapping along the shore as you stroll through this memoir of childhood innocence, mischief, and excitement. It's an easy and relaxing read, but not without its poignant moments. You don't have to be a New Englander or an island dweller to enjoy it; if you were once a kid, it will warm your heart.”

Step back in time to a simpler life, as you read this captivating memoir of growing up in the 1950’s on the small island of Prudence. A story of re-connecting to long forgotten childhood bonds and memories, The Ferry Home embraces joyful moments with humor and more troubling emotions with compassion. Experience the rhythm of life on Prudence Island, the ebb and flow of changing tides and seasons, and the patterns and relationships that emerge.  As the vivid descriptions unfold, you will feel like you too have just stepped off the ferry and been embraced by the tiny Prudence Island community.

The Ferry Home is “…a love story, an answer to the siren’s call, a whisper of long-ago unacknowledged loss, pain, and grief and, ultimately, the healing realization that some things in life endure forever.”
