by Elaine Pace

Here's what readers say...

"A masterful journey of transition...honest, moving, and powerful...a rich celebration of living on Martha's Vineyard in the middle years"
Nancy Aronie, Author, WRITING FROM THE HEART

"ISLAND is the story of one woman's journey to find balance and peace. This book, with its clear and unpretentious style, is charming and delightful."
Carol Vega, Yoga Instructor

"Elaine has written a heartfelt love letter to the island of Martha's Vineyard. ISLAND is both concise and lyrical -- a testament to the charm of the Vineyard and to Elaine's appreciation of the island, of family, and of the up-and-down adventure of life itself."
John Hough,Jr., Author, THE LAST SUMMER

 

What happens to a woman who leaves everything behind and moves to an island to change her life? Can a place change a person? This honest memoir tells the story of what that woman found, for better or for worse.

"Elaine takes midlife by the tail and introduces an act of chaos into her suburban existence...she reveals the joy, the mystery, and the struggle of starting anew -- personally and professionally."
Debbie Phillips, Executive Coach, Group MV

Reading ISLAND reconnected me with my own journey from a career-oriented life on the mainland to a life-oriented life on the Vineyard...ISLAND brings the essence of Vineyard life into focus for the off-islander and reminds me of why I was drawn to make this amazing place my home."
Victoria Hanjian, Minister
