the best part about the shore had to be our daytime trips to the beach. My cabana days. I can clearly see the cabana there in all its majesty. Resplendent in its colors of royal blue, orange and yellow, our beach tent provided us with looks of admiration and envy from those less fortunate beach dwellers with merely an umbrella and a blanket. I can still smell that familiar mix of canvas and suntan lotion. The cabana was my haven from the elements, where I could survey the beach terrain in comfort. As viewed through the eyes of a young girl, The Cabana Stories poignantly illustrates how ordinary events can transform and enlighten not only the main character in the stories, but the reader, as well. Lessons from life resonate through these everyday stories of growing up in South Philadelphia during the 1950s. This richly woven collection of tales about the odyssey of youth in a simpler time and world is an engaging experience for all ages to enjoy. From the days when she became a "spy queen", according to her friend Harris, to the blustery Christmas when she learned about the love and sacrifices mothers make for their children, the memories author Terry Black shares in The Cabana Stories will soothe your soul.
