My Cape Cod: Vintage Writing About Cape Cod

by the late Rachel Ellis Kaufman (selected from her series of essays titled" Far Away Places")

What is it about the Cape which invades the spirit?

Cape Cod has no great canyons or Grand teens. It lacks New Hampshire's Presidential Range, crowned by Mt. Washington -- or Mt. Graylock brooding over the Berkshire Hills. There is no rock-bound coast, as in the State of Maine, nor even the brilliant colors of Martha's Vineyard's Gay Head cliffs.

There is little of the spectacular on Cape Cod, unless it is the vistas of the ever changing sea, the changeless stars shining in the arches of the heavens above, steadfast among the flickering curtains of the Northern Lights…

The Write Way: To Review or Not to Review, Is That Even a Question?

by Katie O'Sullivan

Ah, Fall. The college students are gone and yellow school buses replace sightseers in clogging Cape roadways. Back to School time. Time for backpacks and chalkboards, reading assignments and book reports.

Saving Gracie

Book Review by Ginger Kimler

Published by Freestyle Press, 2012

The first chapter of Jill Teitelman's novel, Saving Gracie (saving-gracie.com), drew me in like a child to a candy store. My craving to become a shut-in and enjoy its deliciousness trumped any outside obligation.
