The fifth book in the series of short stories of and about people in and around the Tidewater Chesapeake region - along with a few stories from other regions when the writers travel or deployed overseas. Lots of history and humor and a perfect way to pass time in front of a roaring fire or on a beach or promenade deck. Fans of Readers Digest will enjoy the variety as the authors work hard to entertain the reader, from the writers of THE CHESAPEAKE, THE SOLOMON'S ISLANDER, and THE BLUE CRAB.
