The Marsh Decades

THE MARSH DECADES is James P. MacGuire's poignant memoir of returning to his childhood hometown on the South Shore of Long Island in his forties to raise his own family, reencountering its natural wetland beauty, his late parents' now older friends and making new ones in a community undergoing transition. The quarter century that the book details is filled with life, death, triumph, loss and chronicles a fragile yet ultimately resilient world.
