Welcome to Mineola (Long Island, New York Book 1)
by A. Louise Robertson
Genre: Sagas | Family Life
FREE for a limited time
Rachel stands at the stove about to throw some spaghetti into a pot of boiling water. The radio announcer just said that there had been a horrible and bloody train wreck on the Long Island Railroad this Thanksgiving Eve, 1950. Matt and Tommy were on the evening train returning home from a day in New York City.
Before this day is over, Rachel potentially faces a future as a widow and single mother of three, if she is able to keep from losing her mind.
WELCOME TO MINEOLA spans the next fifty years of Rachel’s life. The story is character-driven and is told from the perspective of several key players as the author “hands the microphone” over to different characters to add their points of view.
Rachel and Matt arrive in Long Island, after being reunited at the end of World War II. They are content to participate in the neighborhood barbecues and card games typical of suburban living in the late 1940’s. Although submerging themselves in their new lifestyle and enjoying the family celebrations, Rachel finds that she misses the women in the City brownstone who sustained her during the war. She is devastated when one of them takes her own life. Rachel’s strength is further challenged as she comes face to face with her husband’s suspected infidelity; the loss of her mother; her neighbor’s shocking anti-Semitic behavior; the birth of her fourth child; and a dear friend’s stroke.
She is tested further on the day one of her dear children disappears under the waves at Jones Beach and finally she is shattered on that average day in November when she hears a life-altering radio announcement.
Her children grow up, pursue diverse careers, fall in love and begin their own families, counting on Rachel’s encouragement and support. The family matriarch is always there to lean on offering her sage advice and her continual strength and presence, until a New Year’s Eve that brings sorrow to all that love her.
This is the kind of book you want to tuck in your bag to read on the commuter train. It is smart and entertaining appealing especially to readers interested in stories that contain real historic events experienced through the characters they come to love.
