ABOUT THE PATH: TEARS AND LAUGHTER THROUGH THE GENERATIONS


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.
