Throughout my story, Some Kind of Lucky, I'm sharing at age eighty-two the impact of the Vineyard on my life since I first came here for the summer months in 1962, recently divorced with four young children.Thus begins Joan Bowman's fifty-year tale -- a story that includes joy and sadness, crisis and calm, enchantment and danger. Running through all the chapters --which are illustrated by photos from the magical camera of photographer Alison Shaw -- is the island of Martha's Vineyard. It is, Joan says, the place that "seems to encourage intimate revelations that would not be forthcoming between us and our lives at home."
