Some Kind of Lucky: A Fifty-Year Love Affair with Martha's Vineyard

Throughout my story, Some Kind of Lucky, I'm sharing at age eighty-two the impact of the Vineyard on my life since I first came here for the summer months in 1962, recently divorced with four young children. Thus begins Joan Bowman's fifty-year tale a story that includes joy and sadness, crisis and calm, enchantment and danger. Running through all the chapters which are illustrated by photos from the magical camera of photographer Alison Shaw is the Island of Martha's Vineyard. It is, Joan says, the place that seems to encourage intimate revelations that would not be forthcoming between us in our lives at home.
