The Vineyard We Knew - A Recollection of Summers on Martha's Vineyard by Kevin Parham

Kevin Parham has spent summers on Martha’s Vineyard for over fifty years. He shares his experiences on the island through a series of vignettes that are very personal, but also universal. They open up to a reader a world that many of them will not know, but one they will still recognize. The story takes place in the turbulent 1960s—under humble circumstances—when America's social and political landscapes were evolving. The Vineyard We Knew is almost elegiac in nature, in that it creates a sense of nostalgia, even in a reader who had never been there.
