Walker's Cove

Set in a New England seaside village on the brink of the American Revolution, Walker's Cove is a book of the heart . . . a very personal chronicle about the splendor of love that leaves no human emotion untouched.
Suzannah Ellingwood and James Walker are two young people brought together by chance to share their experiences: from youthful innocence and the first stirrings of love, through marriage, parenthood, the rupture of war and beyond. The reader experinces life with Jim and Suzannah through times that are endearing, intimate, folksy and so profoundly personal, that one can feel a bond with them, their family and their friends.
This remarkable romance promises a spellbinding experience, and is based upon family letters, archives, and real events that unfolded during the turbulent years of colonial America.

E. P. Walker spent his boyhood in Rockport, MA and after college, spent 37 years working for a CPA firm in Boston. While doing this, he began Walker's Cove in 1974 with the intent of publishing it during the Bicentennial. The day job got in the way of his writing, but he pecked away at it over the years, and after retiring to be a lighthouse keeper on Thacher Island, he was able to finish the chronicle of Walker's Cove during the off seasons.
Walker now spends his time in his home, called Seawood, near the ocean with his wife, Susan. Walker repairs clocks, is a Ham radio operator and continues lighthouse keeping on Thacher Island, just off the Rockport shore line.
