“Filled with characters you wish were your neighbors, with just the right amount of spirits and magic to have you wondering what might be hovering unseen by all except the cats. Wash Ashore is a soothing balm. Reading this novel may result in a craving for clam chowder and a vacation on Cape Cod.” C.L. Fornari, author of Coffee for Roses

“In Wash Ashore, Mary Petiet deftly weaves the history of a fictional Cape Cod village with the modern problems of overdevelopment and climate change. Enveloped by the authentic atmosphere, the reader cheers for the engaging characters as they struggle to save pristine land and precious relationships from the forces of greed and spite. I loved this book!” Mary E. McDermott, author of Old Orleans: Memories of a Cape Cod Town

Praise

The New Mary Oliver Some have compared Petiet’s work to Thoreau, but to my mind these poems are more reminiscent of Mary Oliver. While the sense of place is similar to walking with Thoreau, the writing has the sensory power of Oliver–I love the way the author brings the smells of sea and sand, and the landscape, to life throughout. Reading this I’m brought right back to the Cape, to weathered gray houses and frogs in the marsh and the constant presence of the sea like its own person. Antonia Malchik, author of A Walking Life: Reclaiming Our Health and Our Freedom One Step at a Time

Description
