Memoir essay published in The Southeast Review, Summer 2008

“The Sleepy Hollow Inn was for those tourists without a house in town, who could not afford the B&B’s with gardens, dowager mistresses, and historic molding over their porches. They were the tourists with too many children, who spoke too loudly in restaurants, who walked down Cape Cod streets wearing Cape Cod T-shirts, who wore makeup to the beach. The rich were just as uncouth, though crueler, I later found.”
