In the late 1990s, my mother, Mary Ellen Baldwin, wrote a novella based on living in New York City, meeting my father, and visiting Martha's Vineyard for the first time. This is Part 3 of her first treatment of what became known as "The Summer Place" (and eventually, in another version, "The Family Place.")
"The Summer Place" is read by Juliet Hanlon.
Family names were changed in my mother's novella. But using this key, one can discern who exactly she was describing.
Susan (main character and narrator) = Mary Ellen Baldwin (1933-2008)
Bill (Susan's beau) = Carl R. Baldwin (1931-2004)
Betty (Bill's mom) = Evelyn Preston (1898-1962)
Alec (Bill's stepfather) = Roger N. Baldwin (1884-1981)
Wally (friend of family) = Fred Rodell (1907-1980)
Lucretia (Bill's sister) = Helen Baldwin (1939-1981)
Jay (Bill's brother) = Roger R. Baldwin (1929-2020)
