A childhood in Florida's charming Northern Palm Beach County creates genuine nostalgia for sun, sand and running barefoot under palm trees. Those memories include hurricanes and Hetzel Brothers Christmases, Sir Harry Oakes's haunted mansion and James Munroe Munyon's Fountain of Youth. The once quaint little coastal towns from Riviera Beach to Jupiter are now much larger, but the memories of s'mores and summer camps remain. Author Ruth Hartman Berge weaves memories of a boomer childhood in Northern Palm Beach County with the history of the people and the places so many loved in this glimpse into a Florida that no longer exists.

Tribe of Legend: Book 1—The Awakening is an epic coming-of-age story highlighting the bond between a brother and sister living in the inner cities of South Florida. The pair of siblings strive to discover who they are while taking on staggering social stereotypes and stigmas placed upon them by society and institutions in their surrounding environment. Fighting to carve out and take hold of their own individual identities, the young teenagers will soon find themselves on an arduous journey of growth. An ordinary outing in the city on a Friday evening for the brother and sister with friends suddenly turns into a nightmarish gauntlet of running into reality-breaking encounters and mysteries that will challenge the unity and loyalties of close relationships. In addition, it reveals to the siblings that the world around them has much more beyond its veil to show them, than what the average eyes will allow itself to see, and lost secrets of the past affecting the balance of the cosmos are directly linked to the siblings.

The Palm Beaches in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s were a wonderful place to grow up. There were beaches, woods and empty fields for kids to explore. As the population crunch had not yet occurred, folks knew each other and got along...Living all over town, I knew the many neighborhoods of West Palm Beach: Northboro, Centralboro, and Southboro. As my father had a small jewelry store in the 500 block of Clematis for 34 years, I was quite familiar with the many businesses on Clematis. In this personal history, I have mentioned the names of friends, neighbors, teachers and just plain folks I knew over the years and have come to love. I believe their story has to be told and my story would be incomplete without them.

A vivid biography of the nineteenth-century society couple who helped turn a tropical wilderness into a Gilded Age paradise. Palm Beach’s sunny and idyllic shores had humble beginnings as a wilderness of sawgrass and swamps only braved by the hardiest of souls. Two such adventurers were Fred and Byrd “Birdie” Spilman Dewey, who pioneered in central Florida before discovering the tropical beauty of Palm Beach in 1887. Though their story was all but lost, this dynamic couple was vital in transforming the region from a rough backcountry into a paradise poised for progress. Authors Ginger Pedersen and Janet DeVries trace the remarkable history of the Deweys in South Florida from their beginnings on the isolated frontier to entertaining the likes of the Flaglers, Vanderbilts, Phippses, Cluetts, Clarkes, and other Palm Beach elite. Using Birdie’s autobiographical writings from her bestselling books to fill in the gaps, Pedersen and DeVries narrate a chapter in Florida’s history that has remained untold until now.

Known for its year-round warmth, beautiful beaches and famous residents, Palm Beach County is one of the most well-known areas along Florida's Atlantic coast. And although many people know the county as a winter destination for the likes of starlets and snowbirds, few know that German U-boats sank sixteen ships off the coast in 1942. Nor do they know that eleven "barefoot mailmen" originally took on the mail service between Palm Beach and Miami. In Palm Beach Past: The Best of "Post Time," author and local journalist Eliot Kleinberg has compiled a collection of historical vignettes--which originally appeared in the Palm Beach Post--about the intriguing people and events in the county's history. Kleinberg reveals little-known facts about the development of the region's prestigious neighborhoods and parks, while introducing readers to some of the most captivating and eccentric characters. For readers who want to understand the Palm Beach County of today or those who enjoy local history and just want a "good read," Palm Beach Past is a must.
