A Glimpse of Old Peaks Island
Through Rose-Colored Glasses
by Alice Boyce, Eunice Curran, Ellin Gallant, Reta Morrill & Joyce O'Brien
Collaborating to paint a picture of island life during the 30's and 40's, authors Alice Boyce, Eunice Curran, Ellin Gallant, Reta Morrill and Joyce O'Brien invite readers to reflect on a way of life that remained constant in spite of the turmoil of those years. A Glimpse of Old Peaks Island: Through Rose-Colored Glasses is an informative personal and historical account of an island three miles from the largest city, Portland, in the state of Maine.
The authors, childhood friends, each with a deep love of Peaks Island with its spectacular views of the city of Portland on its bay side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, have written a delightful book that provides an intimate look at island life during the turbulent years of the depression and World War II.
A Glimpse of Old Peaks Island Through Rose-Colored Glasses, nostalgic without being mawkish, is insightful and captures worthwhile memories and history that should live on through the generations.
