Following on the heels of the best-selling and riotous <em>As I Lay Frying>/i>, 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 <em>Letters from CAMP Rehoboth</em> 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 <em>Letters</em> 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>A native New Yorker, Fay Jacobs spent 30 years in Washington, DC working in journalism, public relations and theater.
