Short Stories of Rehoboth Beach
Rehoboth Beach takes center stage in the series of short stories included in Perfect Beach Day. This collection of humorous and endearing stories is the perfect companion to a beach chair on a sunny day, a porch swing on a rainy beach day, or a sofa in front of a crackling fire.
These stories include quirky and delightful characters who will show just how special this small seaside town can be.
Within these pages, you will find out how the country’s most popular diva saves the Christmas concert, lifeguards who band together to save more than swimmers, love that is lost and found, a volleyball game like none you’ve seen, how learning to swim can change your life, and much more. These stories will make you smile, cry, laugh, and might even have you sitting on the edge of your seat. Others might pull hard on your heartstrings, but will be certain to leave a smile on your face.
The author’s casual and personal writing style, coupled with a variety of plots and topics, makes Perfect Beach Day the perfect summer read. If you like Rehoboth Beach and you like to read, then you will love Perfect Beach Day.
