Cove Point on the Chesapeake

""Who knew such a quiet, tranquil place like Cove Point could be filled with such drama? A delightful book: well researched, well written, and a real page-turner."" -Leila Boyer, research historian; retired director, Calvert County Historical Society ""Carol Booker's stories speak not only to the residents of Cove Point but also to anyone interested in the Chesapeake because they contribute to our knowledge of the Bay: its history, its people, its customs. This book will be a delight."" -Jane Wilson McWilliams, historian and author: Annapolis: City on the Severn ""Each decade brings new faces, new elements of the story, new impacts from the larger world beyond. Trolling through the decades, it is a well-researched and personal perspective on the history of this lovely stretch of coast along Maryland's western shore."" -Sherrod Sturrock, retired director: Calvert Marine Museum ""Easy to read, informative, interesting, and thought provoking. Poor people and people of color in Calvert who struggled to survive would be shocked to learn that 'storybook' living was so close by."" -Michael Kent, author: Mulatto, The Black History of Calvert County (2019); and president: NAACP Calvert County Branch ""Intrigue on every page. Compelling from the first chapter to the end. You won't stop reading. Cove Point on the Bay should be turned into a television series."" -Grace Mary Brady, Founder and President: Bayside History Museum, North Beach ""An intimate look into the rich history of Cove Point. Carol's vivid prose immerses the reader in the exciting stories of life and growth on the Chesapeake Bay. This book is recommended to all readers who love lighthouses, life on the water's edge, and a rich and intriguing history. You'll lose yourself in Carol's delightful imagery as she takes readers on a journey of times past. Truly a delightful and energizing read!"" -Cory Talbott, President: Chesapeake Chapter, United States Light House Society
