Fried & True: Tales From Rehoboth Beach

by Fay Jacobs

The hilarious and irreverent Fay Jacobs is back….again!Fay Jacobs shares the inside story on life in the gay-friendly resort town of Rehoboth Beach. This collection of columns from the publication Letters from CAMP Rehoboth is sometimes provocative, sometimes political, often heartwarming and reliably hilarious. In addition, Fay takes you inside the remarkable lives of two Rehoboth Beach icons, who helped her become an accidental publisher.

Recommended for everyone, male or female, gay or straight. Rehoboth Beach historian and author Rich Barnett says of Jacobs books, “What I love is how these four books taken together present a social history of LGBT life in one town over 20 years of great change in American society.”
