Treacherous shoals just offshore claimed the lives of thousands of immigrants seeking new starts in America before the current lighthouse was designed in 1856 by the later victorious general of Gettysburg, George Meade. The Ashley House, one of the first shore resort hotels in the country, went up in 1821. In the 1880s, Benjamin Archer and William Bailey of Camden built bigger hotels, cottages, and roads in town, even bringing the railroad.

Paperback. Etat : Good. When I first met Peter Li, he greeted me from his wheelchair with a smile and hearty Nice to meet you Despite the fact that MD has taken away most of his mobility and that he is 100% dependent on his care takers at Angel's View, he maintains a pretty cheerful spirit and a smile that fills the room. Behind that spirit though, is a story of surviving and navigating life events that would leave most people without any reason to smile. Peter is a Chinese immigrant who sailed his way to American with his family. His childhood MD diagnosis came with devastating implications for a boy who just wanted to fit in, and for a family unfamiliar with the disease. And as MD began to take over his body, Peter's own bout with depression had him wondering if medical care was even worth it. As we sat and talked that sunny day in California, Peter shared the tragedy of his life, but he also shared the thankfulness and gratitude that has been a part of his experience. He receives incredible care from the nurses who serve the home he and his brother and several other friends share, all battling MD. He has met celebrities. He has been the keynote at fund raising galas and has helped spread the message that life after MD can still be richly fulfilling. Spend a few hours with Peter, as I did, and you'll walk away with a smile on your face and boost to your own spirit. That's Peter's hope for this book, that you will be encouraged to live life to its fullest and embrace all parts of it-the good parts, and the hard parts-as aspects of the journey. So go ahead, meet Peter by reading his book and see if you can find a smile and some encouragement for your life Joe Castaneda -- Publisher.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. From the acclaimed author of Number One Chinese Restaurant comes an affecting novel about an unforgettable group of friends trying to make their way in the world without losing themselves, or one another. Diana, Justin, Errol, and Vivian were always told that success is guaranteed by following a simple checklist. They worked hard, got A's, and attended a good university--only to graduate into the Great Recession of 2008. Now, despite their newly minted degrees, they're unemployed and stuck again under their parents' roofs in a hypercompetitive Chinese American community. So when Grace--once the neighborhood golden child, now a Harvard Law School dropout--asks to make a documentary about the crew, they agree. It's not like her little movie will ever see the light of day. But then the video, Bad Asians, goes viral on an up-and-coming media platform (YouTube, anyone?). Suddenly, millions of people know them as cruel caricatures, each full of pent-up frustrations with the others. And after a desperate attempt at spin control further derails their plans for the lives they'd always imagined, the friends must face harsh truths about themselves and coming of age in the new millennium. Lillian Li's novel wryly captures a generation shaped by the rise of the internet and the end of the American dream.

Hardback. Etat : Good. Inventing a formula to predict people's perfect partners doesn't equate to love in this contemporary YA novel that New York Times bestsellers Rachael Lippincott and Alyson Derrick call "honest, raw, and breathtakingly real." College freshman Grace Tang never meant to rewrite the rules of love. She came to college to move on from a grief-stricken senior year and to start anew. So she follows a predictable routine: Attend class, study, go home and visit her dad every weekend. She doesn't leave any room in her life for outliers or anomalies. Then, Grace comes up with an algorithm for her statistics class to pair students with their perfect romantic partners. Though some people are skeptical, like Julia, Grace's prickly coworker, Grace is confident that her program will take all the drama out of relationships. That's why she keeps trying to make things work with her match, a guy named Jamie. But as the semester goes on and she grows closer to Julia, Grace starts to question who she's really attracted to. In award-winning author Christina Li's YA debut, Grace will have to make a choice between the tidy equations she knows will protect her from heartbreak or the possibility that true love doesn't follow any formula.…
