Description

Part memoir, part oral history, #1 New York Times bestselling creator Sherryl Woods gives us a rare and intimate take a look at Colonial Beach, Virginia.

Rich in narrative history and local color, A Small Town Love Story: Colonial Beach, Virginia is an homage to the town of Sherryl Woods’s summers, a place that stole her heart long ago and provided the basis for the many fictional small towns in her bestselling novels.

True to Woods’s signature style of specializing in characters who are on the center of their communities, here she has woven together the stories of the very real people who contributed to shaping this seaside Virginia town. She takes us back to the days of her own circle of relatives gatherings, artfully capturing the unique essence of Colonial Beach and making us yearn for small-town life.

Woods’s own memories frame the actual stories she features—from the unique history of Colonial Beach itself to a couple firsthand accounts of the Oyster Wars that once consumed the community, to the stories of neighborhood merchants who made it a point to know on the subject of each customer by name. From farmers to restauranteurs and hoteliers, from pastors to librarians and military folk, Woods’s research and interviews give life to the personalities of a very special place.
