       Containing more pages and artwork than Volume I (with 180 pages of text and 144 full-color paintings by more than forty area artists), this oversized coffee table book of prose, poetry, and works of art takes readers on a journey down the Jersey Shore—from the tip of Sandy Hook to the point of Cape May.

       Join once more acclaimed author and poet, Frank Finale, and his family on a journey through the past and present as he once again captures life along the shore while exploring universal themes that touch us all. These graceful personal essays and poems elicit an emotional response and lingering memory. They are also perfect for reading aloud throughout the year and, as with Volume I, may even become a family tradition in years to come!

       The essays and poems are organized from north to south taking place in all four seasons in many of the towns and regions along the coast including Highlands, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Bradley Beach, Belmar, Spring Lake, Point Pleasant, Seaside, Island Beach, the Toms River area, Bayville, Long Beach Island, the Pine Barrens, Brigantine, Atlantic City, and Cape May.

       Also inside, you'll find resplendent, full color paintings of some of the loveliest landmarks and locations at the Jersey Shore. Each have been painted by area artists including Al Barker, Barbara Cocker, Dede Esenlohr, Dennis Foy, Carol Freas, Tine Kirkland Graham, Stephen Harrington, Dawn Hotaling, Paula Kolojeski, Dick LaBonte, Susan Walsh McLean, Sheila Mickle, Sue Oliver, Virginia Perle, Muriel Rogers, Nicholas P. Santoleri, Ludlow Thorston, Margaret Tourison Berndt, Theresa Troise Heidel, and over twenty additional artists.

       The book is hard bound with a protective dustjacket, and the full color text is printed on heavy, acid-free glossy paper.
