Dear Cohasset Historical Society leaders:
I don’t know if any of you remember the Malleys but Edward
and Barbara Malley lived at 143 Atlantic Avenue (on Sandy Cove) from the 1940s
well into the 1960s.
My mom, Barbara Malley—aged 96—now lives at Linden Ponds in
Hingham. Together, we have written a three-generation memoir called The
Path: Tears and Laughter through the Generations, available at Amazon.com https://www.amazon.com/Path-Tears-Laughter-Through-Generations/dp/1986129969/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1525283581&sr=1-1&keywords=barbara+malley+the+path
It is illustrated with lots of photos, including many of
Cohasset and Cohasset people. I think some of your readers might be
interested. Is there any way that you could share info about the book
with your members? We are holding an authors’ event and signing copies of
the book at Linden Ponds May 16 at 2.
Pasted in below is the description of the memoir from
Amazon:
The Path is a journey through the creative careers of three
women writers from one family. Widowed at age 44 in the middle of the Great
Depression, with three kids to raise, Ernestine Cobern Beyer’s goal of
enhancing her meager income by selling her poems led to her career as one of
the most popular children’s poets of the 20th century. Her daughter Barbara
caught the writing bug and created rollicking stories of family foibles,
personal misadventures, and boating and flying mishaps— which have entertained
thousands of readers of her magazine articles, memoir (Take my ex, please—but
not too far) and her blog, Tears and Laughter at Age 90. Granddaughter Kathie
has written largely on more serious issues—war and peace—but has also published
stories on her blog, engagingpeace.com. Their memoir is amply illustrated with
photos, sketches, and paintings to add color to their poetry and prose.”
Hoping to hear back from you.
