PALISADES PARK

"Brennert writes his valentine to the New Jersey playground of his youth in Ragtime style, mixing fact and fiction. It's a memorable trip." --People Magazine

“This nostalgic coming-of-age tale of a little girl with big dreams is the perfect read.” --Library Journal

“A literate, thoughtful saga... Brennert’s story is a universal one [and] a pleasure to read.” --Kirkus Reviews

"Brennert convincingly incorporates into the narrative
authentic figures and anecdotes about the park, and
creates a real emotional pull in his evocative descriptions
of the eccentric, hardworking people who made up the Palisades family in good times and in bad."

--Publishers Weekly

		HONOLULU Honolulu is the rich, unforgettable story of a young “picture bride” who journeys to Hawai'i in 1914 in search of a better life.
		MOLOKA'I This richly imagined novel, set in Hawai'i more than a century ago, is an extraordinary epic of a little-known time and place---and a deeply moving testament to the resiliency of the human spirit.
