Fried & True - Tales from Rehoboth Beach

WINNER! National Federation of Press Women Book of the Year for Humor 2008! From the author of As I Lay Frying - a Rehoboth Beach Memoir... now comes Fried & True - Tales from Rehoboth Beach. Following on the heels of the best-selling and riotous As I Lay Frying, 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 Letters from CAMP Rehoboth 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 Letters 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.
