Grains of Sand: From the Beaches of Hilton Head Island, SC (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781494378042)

Grains of Sand is a series of vignettes about life on the beach: the people you meet, the flotsam left by the tides, and the stories that get written in the sand. It's about: * A rusted beach chair inscribed "best mother ever" and the battle to save it from the dump. * A lifeguard who risks her life to save a blind dog from drowning. * A laminated card, found floating in shallow water, showing the emergency exits of a DC-10 aircraft. * A nun who jogs at sunrise while saying her devotions, wearing a black habit and pink running shoes. * The battle between the crows and the seagulls for trash dominance. * The children's kazoo marching band playing "God Bless America" while bather's stand at attention. It's the humorous story of a trash man who watches the sun rise over the waves each morning, and then sets out to rid the sands of man's environmental transgressions.
