“The anthology offers an all-encompassing perspective of Long Beach Island – the real LBI we love and hold in our collective memories,” said Buchholz. “It includes our happy, carefree childhoods at the beach, our parents and grandparents making the trip to the shore, our summer foolishness as teenagers and our pursuits and reflections on what matters as we mature. Those activities may be a little different in different eras, but the experiences and feelings are just the same today.”
She said the stories were culled from several thousand published over five decades.
