A Walk Along the Beach

Product Information

Again, white clothing dominates the scene, and only the young girl in the center stands out in a bright red jacket. She kind of improved after she got over herself and climbed a mountain, but to be honest I am a little baffled why spending a year alone and going to Machu Pichu makes her a motivational speaker…….

Whether you are walking or sitting, playing in the waves, building sandcastles, watching the sunset, surfing, or simply staring far out over the magnificent ocean, there is a little something there for everyone.

You may have seen on local news updates near beaches that there has been outbreaks of white palm oil washed up on beaches and for people, especially dog owners to beware. Every time I stand before a beautiful beach, its waves seem to whisper to me: If you choose the simple things and find joy in nature’s simple treasures, life and living need not be so hard. That way, when you start to get tired, you'll get an assist from the wind instead of having to fight against it. Young Joan decided to take a "year of solitude" at their family home on Cape Cod away from her husband to decide if she wanted to stay married and "find out who she is besides a wife". You feel the fresh, gentle sea breeze against your skin, you hear the spontaneous laughter of happy people playing in the sun, and you feel the tremble of the powerful waves crashing on the shore.

Joan Erikson, however, was such a fascinating and inspiring woman that I wanted to know more about her.The second half of the book does an amazing job of detailing the tough events that occur and if you have walked in the shoes of the character, you will recognize the care that the author took to get the details right. In addition to fiction, Macomber has also published three bestselling cookbooks, three adult coloring books, numerous inspirational and nonfiction works, and two acclaimed children’s books. But of course it is not, it is a wonderful place to escape to with your dog and have the time of your lives, bonding and playing together in the great outdoors. Take time to wander the streets of elegant red-roofed townhouses and brightly painted frontages lining the estuary road. This book is about Joan Anderson's encounter with a more famous Joan- Joan Erikson, the 90 something yr old widow of renowned psychoanalyst Erik Erikson.
