Produktbeschreibung
Sights and sounds come alive via the story of how love, patience, and living on a magical island cured a child diagnosed as terminal. Faced with the grim diagnosis at age three, Cinnamon learns to read, journal, and write her own stories about island life. A patient grandmother homeschooled her on days traveling across the river was impossible; her grandfather shared his knowledge of managing the deer herd and other wildlife on the freshwater island. Trips down the Perkins Highway, the sole dirt road splitting the island in half, allowed daily opportunities to feed deer directly out of the truck window. Cinnamon imagined solitary games, wrote original stories, and became more vigorous and healthier as months and years passed. Befriending animals was easy when they became comfortable with her scents and habits. As an adult, she kayaks to the island to write while enjoying sitting in the Adirondack chairs provided at the Kennebec Riverside.
Autorenporträt
BIOGRAPHY - T. BLEN PARKERMAINE is her topic, and local history is her passion. She has written about Maine and Swan Island for most of her life, publishing short stories in Goose River's Anthologies from 2012 through today. Cinnamon's Swan Island Adventures on the Kennebec River in Maine depicts from a child's viewpoint how Cinnamon evolved from a very ill child who became healthier and healthier by loving grandparents treating her as if she did not have any infirmities or illnesses. After several years of building up her health while being delivered to several doctors for weekly treatments, and being home-schooled by grandmother, Cinnamon blossomed into a healthy, capable young girl who loved to read and write. Swan Island in the Kennebec - Journey to Sowangen, Island of Eagles invites readers to enter the island world where the village of Perkins was incorporated in the mid-1800s; abandoned in 1936; purchased by the State of Maine and registered with the National Register of Historic Places to become what is now known as the Steve Powell Wildlife Management Park. Doctor Sylvester Gardiner's Dumaresque house and Kennebec Proprietor's properties were built there. Visitors to Swan Island may now notice a lone figure sitting in one of the Adirondack chairs near her kayak by the riverside, reading or writing a new book!
