About the Book

“You can say I'm never satisfied. I'll agree. Walk with me along the shore at low tide, see the glorious pink sun rise over wet sand, and hear me complain about a day at the beach not comparing with pounding pavements in Manhattan. Then walk with me in New York City where we'll dodge traffic crossing Madison Avenue at 50th street and I’ll tell you that this city may be the most wonderful in the world, but it can't compare with a sunrise or sunset over the golden isles of Georgia.”

Life is a tapestry of momentous events, personal challenges and the impact of other people - be they heads of State or the boy next door. In this miscellany of memories, Constance Daley traces the threads of her life, from a young girl (From Young Me To Old Me) to a grown woman (Dancing on the Lawn at the End of Summer), remembering presidents (I'll Take The High Road), celebrities (Frankie and Me, Through the Years) and casual meetings (Fun!) with wit and insight. From her beloved New York to peaceful St Simons Island, her words strike chords, prompt laughter and fill eyes with tears - from Skyline to Shoreline.--Christine James, Writer, South Africa
