Los Angeles, CA, January 25, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published Miami Beach: Coming of Age in a world gone mad with War by Ivan Wainer, which is the author’s most recent book to date. The 6 x 9 Paperback in the Fiction/ Literary category is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble for a suggested retail price of $15.95. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/Miamibeach was launched simultaneously with the book’s publication.
About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
The World of 1937 was on the brink of the greatest revolution in social, scientific, and artistic expressions. It was experiencing a vast economic depression, and inexorably drawn into a fiery death storm of war that would burn up the past, destroy the present and open the gates to nuclear horrors. Two poor Jewish brothers, Lee and the story's narrator, fall in love with Gretta, a girl from a rich Miami Beach gentile family. The love triangle deepens when Lee joins the army leaving a pregnant Gretta to face the future alone. But the younger brother and Gretta form a love alliance, which is on hold until Lee, who is missing in action, comes home to claim Gretta and the baby. The narrator struggles with the conflict over his love for Gretta and his guilt in light of Lee's possible return. Then he is also taken by the war to foreign shores.
This is a heart-wrenching story of the cultural divide that engulfs rich and poor families in the late Depression, and the fight for survival in war and peace. Each brother takes an oath to defend the nation. Gretta takes an oath of love for each of them, and waits helplessly to find out if they will return.
Deftly constructed at 292 pages, Miami Beach: Coming of Age in a world gone mad with War is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Fiction/ Literary category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Miami Beach meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $15.95.
Additionally, Miami Beach can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press wholesale online bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/buybooks
