New Rochelle by Barbara Davis
Beginning with its settlement by refugees seeking religious freedom to its present standing as a diverse and vibrant city, New Rochelle's 325-year-old story reflects many great American trends and social movements. From a small town of farms to one of New York's leading suburbs, by the turn of the 20th century, New Rochelle was a fashionable spot from which to drop a note. The Golden Age of Postcards arrived at an ideal time for the rapidly growing community, which boasted an array of winning characteristics, including 12 meandering miles of Long Island Sound shoreline, attractive neighborhoods styled as residential parks, an up-and-coming downtown, and many impressive structures. In New Rochelle, vintage postcards from the New Rochelle Public Library's local history collection provide a wonderful glimpse into the years New Rochelle's core identity took shape.Barbara Davis left the corporate world after more than a decade as an executive in the jewelry industry to finally pursue her lifelong dream of writing. When Never Comes, Love, Alice, Summer at Hideaway Key, The Wishing Tide, and The Secrets She Brought are among her works. She is presently writing on her next book while living in Rochester, New Hampshire, with her husband Tom and their beloved ginger cat, Simon.
