Island Home: Why People Come to Martha's Vineyard and Why They Stay

A heartfelt journey of discovery -- the author unravels the mystery of the kinds of people who move to an island and plan to spend the rest of their lives there. Interviewed are fishermen, artists, musicians, farmers, conservationists, ministers, and many others -- all "wash-ashores" -- those who were not born on the Martha's Vineyard but who washed ashore for one reason or another. What are those reasons? Read this book to find out.
