 An Island Out of Time, A Memoir of Smith Island in the Chesapeake Tom Horton BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR • 2008 • PAPER • 336 PAGES
Horton, a writer for the "Baltimore Sun," moved for two years to Smith Island, a small island in the Chesapeake off Maryland's eastern shore. The island is inhabited by only about 500 people, a tight-knit fishing community set in tidal marshes. Horton evokes the special life -- both the indigenous bay culture and the splendid natural setting -- with grace.
