Home Sweet Outer Banks Home? (Home To The Outer Banks)

Several years ago Jimmy Buffett wrote his "Tales From Margaritaville". He labeled it as "Fictional Facts and Factual Fictions". In a sense that's what I have done with "Home Sweet Outer Banks Home?" For years I have been urged to write my family's memoir. My first wife and all the women in her family died young. My daughters face the same battles as those women before them. I have put that story into this book....but only partly. Yes, there are important facts that are 100% true. But there are also some "non-facts" to keep the story moving. My children are in this book. They will recognize themselves in the characters, though not as their real names. My mother, the strong woman that she is, will recognize herself too. I used her real name. This is a story of strength, weakness, grief, community involvement, but most of all, triumph.
