Nancy Nau Sullivan

    Nancy Nau Sullivanová se zabývá tématy, která zkoumají hranice lidské zkušenosti, od osobního zotavení po napětí vězeňského života. Její spisovatelský styl, který čerpá z jejích rozsáhlých zkušeností jako novinářky a pedagožky v prostředí s nízkými zdroji, nabízí pronikavý pohled na postavy, které se potýkají s nepřízní osudu. Prostřednictvím svých příběhů Sullivanová zkoumá sílu odolnosti a složitost lidských vztahů, často zasazených do malebných pobřežních prostředí, což čtenářům poskytuje hluboce rezonující čtenářský zážitek.

      Blanche "Bang" Murninghan, a part-time journalist struggling with writer's block, enjoys her peaceful life on Santa Maria Island until land-grabbing tycoons from Chicago threaten her beachfront cottage. As her idyllic existence is disrupted, she grapples with the chaos that ensues, leading to a whirlwind of unexpected challenges and revelations.

      Saving Tuna Street
    • Blanche "Bang" Murningham was perfectly content sitting on the dock of the Peel 'N Eat Pier on Santa Maria Island, sipping an excellent draft and wiggling her fishing pole after an exclusive sheepshead. Perfectly content, that is until Jean McMahon appears at her side and forever disrupts Blanche's peaceful idyll with ghosts of the past. Blanche's amateur sleuthing skills have become local legend, and Jean needs her help. It's no a simple favor Jean asks--will Blanche go to Vietnam with her and look for Jean's mother? Blanche feels an old wound rip open in her heart. Her father was killed in Vietnam, and she's never gotten much history from her beloved grandmother and mother on the subject. She realizes she and Jean share a powerful bond--they both want the truth. --from page [4] of cover
