Synopsis

Thousands and thousands of families and individuals are attracted to the South Carolina coast each year, renting houses up and down the beach every summer. In The Beach Week, author Pierce Koslosky Jr. has crafted fourteen poignant short stories that paint a vivid portrait of the beach's diverse, temporary inhabitants; those people attracted to a landscape both beautiful and overwhelming in its ability to force introspection and change.
Set over the course of a single rental season that ends at Christmas, the book's unrelated characters are united by a cohesive theme; yet each story has a distinct message at its core. Readers will follow characters with multi-layered backgrounds and witness their varied, individual experiences-stories of hope and redemption, connection and detachment, and lessons taught and learned.
Both original and contemplative, heartbreaking and inspirational, The Beach Week brings together a collection of tales with seemingly ordinary, simple, and familiar details-yet underneath their calm, relatable surface exists the uncomfortable, extraordinary complexities of life.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

A sixty-seven-year-old first-time author, Pierce Koslosky once worked three years in a maximum security prison. He escaped to Nebraska and after a mere four decades is now CEO and Chairman of a manufacturing company. He lives in Omaha with Candy, his wife of thirty-three years, and one very fortunate golden doodle. They have four children who could not be less alike. He has only lived in states that begin with the letter "N."
Pierce and his family have gone to Surfside Beach, South Carolina for over twenty-five years, and have stayed in the house featured in The Beach Week since it was built in 1993, right after Hurricane Hugo. In 2000, they bought the home, and rent it out in the summer.
