I loved all you shared about the sober house and the benefit -- it’s lovely to know this community exists. And thank you for all the book recs! I guess I’ll be reading all of august 🙃
Thank you Susie! Your writing is always so refreshing and beautiful and full of amazing vignettes and recommendations. So glad you are having a memorable and meaningful summer, I am just finishing The Covenant of Water which has been the best beach read for me this summer~ Thanks for your posts and sharing so vulnerably with us x Polly
Ooh, The Covenant of Water sounds so good. I loved Cutting for Stone. That's on my list now, Polly, thank you. Thank you for always checking in. I think of you every time I harvest flowers - especially pink ones!!
And speaking of books: my dear friend Susanna — who lives in West Tisbury — pinged me this weekend to inform me that she had scored a copy of your “Fast, Fresh, and Green” for me at the West Tisbury Library Book Sale! I am over-the-moon happy about this, and can hardly wait for it to arrive in the post! (I hope you might run into Susanna some time; she’s a year-rounder, editor, and fellow Alaskan Malamute Mom. Also has the best collection of leftie political t-shirts outside of Cambridge.)
Ha that’s great! The WT book sale is awesome. And you will love Fast, Fresh and Green! What is Susanna ‘s last name? I’m sure we would have mutual acquaintances. There are only three degrees (max) of separation on the Island!
Hi friend!

Susanna Sturgis
oh, yes, I know her name and probably we have met somewhere along the way - I'll keep an eye out for her!
Thank you, darling.
Martha!
It's Martha week!
Thank you for this beautiful essay from the island. I very much needed to read it tonight. 🙏🏻💕
Good timing, then, yay!
