Single & Cooking: Book 1

by David Jay Collins

Dr. David Lisk, a popular English professor, is on sabbatical at a vintage cottage in Rehoboth Beach. He has planned a quiet summer of research but soon discovers new possibilities with love and career. While the risks of following his heart are far greater after age 50, so too are the possible rewards. The summer that changes David’s life unfolds among a town full of vibrant characters, with pointed commentary on the changing landscape of historic beach towns along the Atlantic.
