Rehoboth Beach, Delaware has been called "The
Nation's Summer Capital" ever since the families of U.S. Senators
and Congressmen discovered its beauty and charm, spending summers in
Rehoboth to escape the oppressive heat and humidity of Washington,
DC. Later, Rehoboth became another kind of refuge, when the gay and
lesbian communities of the Mid-Atlantic found a beach resort to call
their own. In 1995, writer Fay Jacobs and her partner Bonnie literally cruised into town and discovered the unique charm of this seaside community. Almost immediately, Fay began chronicling her life as a Rehoboth weekender in a column that appeared in the magazine Letters from CAMP Rehoboth. In the years that followed, Fay's Rehoboth fans have followed her smart, witty columns as Fay & Bonnie made the transition from visitors to regulars to locals themselves. Fay's unique voice and her willingness to bare it all in print turned her fans into a sort of extended family. |

Following on the heels of the best-selling and riotous As I Lay Frying,
Fay Jacobs gives you the inside story on life in the gay-friendly resort town
of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. This collection of her latest columns from the
publication Letters from CAMP Rehoboth is sometimes provocative,
sometimes political, often heartwarming and reliably hilarious. Her unique
voice and willingness to bare it all in print turn readers into an extended
family. In addition to her Letters commentaries, Fay takes you inside the remarkable lives of two Rehoboth Beach icons who helped her become, in her words, an accidental publisher. She shares her close friendship with author Sarah Aldridge (the pen name of writer/publisher Anyda Marchant who wrote 14 classic novels and founded, with her partner Muriel Crawford, The Naiad Press. Naiad was the first and most successful feminist publishing house in the country in the 1970s and 80s and Fay's friendship with the founders will give readers a extraordinary glimpse of history. Jacobs' witty way of describing universal experiences and the travails life delivers will keep you smiling and relating page after page. |
