Forced from her downtown Manhattan apartment by the terrorist attack of September 11, journalist Wendy Bounds was delivered to Guinan's doorstep — a legendary Irish drinking hole and country store nestled along the banks of the Hudson River in the small town of Garrison, New York — by a friend.
Captivated by the bar's charismatic but ailing owner and his charming, motley clientele, Bounds uprooted herself permanently and moved to tiny Garrison, the picturesque river town they all call home. There she became one of the rare female regulars at the old pub and was quickly swept up into its rhythm, heartbeat, and grand history — as related by Jim Guinan himself, the stubborn high priest of this little chapel. Surrounded by a crew of endearing, delightfully colorful characters who were now her neighbors and friends, she slowly finds her own way home.
Beautifully written, deeply personal, and brilliantly insightful, Little Chapel on the River is a love story about a place — and the people who bring it to life.
“A true romance--with a place.”

A true story.
Gwendolyn Bounds is an ambitious reporter for the Wall Street Journal, living on Sep 11, 2011 in the shadow of the World Trade Center. When the planes strike and the towers begin to fall, she flees the city eventually stopping in the tiny hamlet of Garrison, NY. There she is welcomed into the warmth and camaraderie of the tiny Irish pub and general store of Guinan's.
Bounds shares the history of Guinan's, Garrison, and it's small cast of regulars. But that's not what Little Chapel on the River is about. It's about finding that place where you feel most at home, even if you're not looking for it. Where time slows, life, light and color grow more vivid, and friendship becomes more important than climbing the corporate ladder. That place you want to be versus simply are. Where you are your authentic self. For Bounds, Guinan's unexpectedly becomes that place. We should all be so lucky.
Warm and inviting. Highly recommended.
