Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, black-and-white drawings and silhouettes. Reprinted from The Green Light, Bulletin of The Point Association of Newport. All pages are in fine unmarked condition and the binding is in exceedingly tight unread condition (see photographs). "This publication marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of The Point Association. it is the second such pamphlet, the first, Here and There On The Point, having been published eighteen years ago. All of the articles have appeared in The Green Light, The Association's quarterly bulletin. Some have been repeated here, some brought up to date, and some new ones added. The Green Light was started by Edith Ballinger Price, who continued as editor until 1962 when Esther Bates took her place; followed in 1975 by our present editor, Rosalys Hall. The Point is the oldest section of Newport. Here some of the country's history was shaped and her traditions have been ever cherished. The Point Association's twenty-five years have been marked by accomplishments, changes for the better, showing how a determined and dedicated people can effect what happens in their community. Houses have been, and are being restored, some of which antedate the Revolution. Many trees and shrubs have been planted. Storer Park was purchased, landscaped, and deeded to the City. Arnold Park and others have been created and beautified. We are indebted to the Newport Historical Society and the Redwood Library for help with research, and to our editorial staff whose long hours of service have made this book possible." - from the Preliminary Page by William H. Fullerton, President.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Julie Esther Fisher has written a work so moving, so poetic, so layered and subtle that it feels as if we have always been plumbing the depths of these unforgettable characters. . Like the restorer who uses spirit to remove centuries of dirt, Fisher exposes the scars, and in doing so, revea…ls what is human and worth preserving.-Patricia Stacey, author of The Boy Who Loved WindowsThe writing in these interconnected stories is unsentimental and remarkably observant, revealing a family's layered and intimately human inner life-where memory is both witness and accomplice, and where growing up amid instability leaves questions that can never fully be answered; Julie Esther Fisher resists the urge to explain, leaving us quietly unsettled and deeply moved by what remains unspoken.-Ronald Spatz, Editor of Alaska Quarterly ReviewIn this haunting collection of interconnected stories, Eliza James confronts the treacherous legacy of family secrets and childhood trauma. From her work as a paintings conservator-someone who restores damaged art to its original beauty-to the fractured memories of her London upbringing, Eliza's journey reveals how the past refuses to stay buried.Whether she's uncovering hidden scars beneath centuries-old portraits or wrestling with the devastating relationship between her parents, Eliza discovers that some damage runs too deep for any restoration. Through exquisite prose that moves across the Atlantic-from London flats to art studios, from family dining rooms to a brief refuge in the Scottish Highlands-author Julie Esther Fisher crafts an unflinching portrait of survival and the weight of inherited pain, touched with wry humor.The collection's title story explores how we transform life's most unwanted intrusions-like the irritant that becomes a pearl through layers of protective nacre. Fisher excavates the buried archaeology of trauma with unflinching precision, revealing how damage can calcify into something harder, stranger, and unexpectedly luminous. With the meticulous eye of a master restorer and the sensibility of a poet, she maps the territory where beauty and brutality intersect, where survival becomes its own form of art.A Pearl Is Just an Accident is a devastating examination of how we inherit damage from those meant to protect us, and how we might-against all odds-transform that legacy into something we can bear. These stories illuminate the slow, necessary work of building protective layers around our deepest wounds, creating something that might even shine. Eliza James restores paintings for a living, mending what time and accident have damaged. But fractures from her childhood resist repair. In these stories, Fisher traces how the deepest wounds, with time, can harden into something luminous. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
