With creative innocence in her brush and wry wit in her pen, island resident Sandy Gingras offers a delightful "how to" book that reminds us to "float" and "make a splash"; to "ebb and flow" and "run with waves" or "laugh like a gull"; to "sugar yourself with sand," to "walk tender" and to "thank." With charming illustrations and common-sense spiritual wisdom, this endearing book gently encourages us to live life on simpler terms—whether your island is in the water or in your mind. How to Live on an Island gives us an opportunity to reflect on the simplest and most important things—ourselves and our relationships with others in this world. It's a full-color, illustrated philosophy that will enchant you. Originally published as a paperback, this book has been expanded with a thoughtful introduction by the author in a new, attractive hardcover edition.
"It is a book that is easy to hold in your hand while your mind leaves each page to soar through the far reaches of your imagination."—The SandPaper, Long Beach Island 8/21/00

reviewed How to Live on an Island on November 27, 2018 How to Live on an Island
I read this in college the first time and would have given it five stars back then. Now I no longer feel that way. I finished with four stars just to be kind to my memory of those days.
The most interesting part of my copy was the notes my friend made to me about my comments and underlining after I lent it to him way back in my college days. Here are some samples:
"Why the hell are you underlining every damn line? You're driving me crazy!"
"What the hell is wrong with the rest of this page?"--He wrote that about a mostly blank page.
"Suck!"--He wrote that about a quote he apparently did not like.
"I regret my ignorance but would you kindly take this further?"--Spoken to the author about a confusing quote.
"No sense! He is caught up with words! He should take this further. Nothing more irritating than to read someone who is being difficult just for the sake of being difficult."
"What the hell are you talking about?"--Spoken to me about a written comment I made. Frankly, I have no idea what the hell I was talking about.
"No, in both cases! They are the same!"
"Not good enough! Take it further. Be more specific."
"How about a few commas!"
"Makes no sense at all! Ridiculous assumption!"
"Hence? What the hell do you mean hence? Who says your first statement is true?"
