Settlin' In - Joseph Scott - Bog

The shores of the Delmarva Peninsula do not judge. They simply act as the backdrop for over three centuries of tales. They've watched, impartially, as branded Irish slave boys made desperate bids for freedom, as love blossomed between unlikely pairings, and as acts of courage, violence, and betrayal played out to their ultimate conclusions.
Settlin' In includes nineteen short stories from Delmarva, from the beginning of European settlement on the Peninsula to the present day. Driven by complex characters and deep human needs, author Joseph Scott's tales drift across time, jumping from the harsh life of seventeenth-century Welsh settlements to the devastation of the Civil War, the vicissitudes of modern love, one brave dog, and the salt-tinged exploits of sports fishing.
Walk the beaches of Delmarva with Scott. Explore the Peninsula's hidden bays and small towns as society's values and attitudes drift and change in the eddies of time, even as emotions and human desires remain as constant as the land itself.
The Peninsula has seen it all-a silent witness to the best and worst humanity has to offer. As for judgment, condemnation, or praise, it leaves those for you.
