In the essay ''This is What Makes Me,'' she writes of being ''oriented in life by a beach (more emotional than geographic) that I keep walking on; a summer (more attitude than season) that I keep longing for.'' ''A is for Attitude'' offers a whimsical beach womans A-to-Z (\u003ci\u003eA is for Away. Away, beach woman, away with you to the beach! You've had enough reality.\u003c\/i\u003e). ''A Beach House -- What the Realtor Should Have Told You'' and ''What the Beach House is For'' remind us that what we really desire at the beach (or anywhere) can not be bought. This book is a sweet, gentle reminder that simplicity and happiness emerge from living in the moment, from finding beauty in one's surroundings and an awareness of the moods and feelings that make life whole.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBy Sandy Gingras\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e71 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMeasures 5.75 x 0.5 x 7.75 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN \u003cspan class=\"WorkSelector-bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9781593220136\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sandy Gingras","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39780257628242,"sku":"","price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1571\/6969\/products\/image_6380ad2a-1c93-4b8c-ae26-9b913dc1264b.jpg?v=1646780778","url":"https:\/\/sgcdevelopments.com\/en-ca\/products\/in-a-house-by-the-sea-book","provider":"Coral \u0026 Calypso","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
