Sparrow Beach
eBook
(Gatekeeper Press April 7, 2019)
Living on Long Island’s fast-developing East End, better known as The Hamptons, local builder Michael Dorian is forced to reckon: with a building industry being overrun by Manhattan developers; with his failed marriage and teenage daughter riddled with anxiety; with the nature of a hauntingly beautiful place that offers opportunity but no longer feels like home. Sparrow Beach is about the dark cloud of excess that threatens to consume Long Island’s East End, and about the patchwork of characters who live beneath it, those who adapt, finding new paths amidst the changing landscape, and those who refuse to.
