About the Book

MEET ME AT THE BEACH" is a pull -yourself-up-by-the-boot-strap memoir written by Michelle Dupree. Initially, the story begins as told by Michelle, then a carefree child. As the plot develops, you become glued to the enduring strength of a little girl and courageous spirit of a woman who survived events that would squash most people's soul. Michelle is the main character. A childhood marked by extremes: privilege, tenderness, truth, deceit, violence, hardship. Readers will twist and turn around the curves of this love story. Michelle has a way of leading you astray in such a way that you never see things coming.... unexpected betrayals, a sexual assault, and mysterious reunions. It includes a love story that withstands a code blue and a bout of cancer, the test of time, and distance. It is a powerful testament of how a divided family in the throws of crisis can pull together. This story of forgiveness is a parable for all journeys. Read this book and be spiritually well fed and freed. "MEET ME AT THE BEACH" is Ms. Dupree's freaky-cheeky life story. It does what all good books should do. It transforms the human spirit because it is written with love and grace. The power stems from its narrative childlike perspective and unsentimental prose. The love story is VERY sentimental. You will read some of the most beautiful romantic poetry ever written. You will see gorgeous pictures. The author takes the reader on a leap into an untapped, all embracing terrain and the radical pendulum between love and hate. It is Haven Kimmel's nostalgic "ZIPPY" meets Augusten Burroughs "RUNNING WITH SCISSORS" told in a spunky narrative voice. "THE NOTEBOOK," "BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY," and "NIGHT'S IN RODANTHE" are similar in that they show how destiny chooses our paths of love. It is a testament that love CAN find us when we least expect it AND in the least likely places. "MEET ME AT THE BEACH" is also similar to the book "RUBIES DIARY," in that you walk away with your self-esteem renewed. We can't always rely on other people or outside circumstances for momentum as we hurdle through life. You find that strength from within. Our life does not control our story, but our attitude does. With your conviction and trust in me, I vow to you that "Meet Me at the Beach" is my touching memoir that crescendos into an extremely poignant, inspirational message of hope throughout the book and in the epilogue. Excerpt: THE BUICK Grandpa had given me his Buick before he died and I drove it back to Texas. What was supposed to be a beautiful gesture on his part, would later turn into one of my biggest nightmares. My aunt was stealing jewelry, fine silver, expensive linens, antique china, and anything that wasn't taped to the carpet from Grandpa's house. I sat right there and watched my aunt take a ruby ring that my parents had given my Grandma and slip it into her purse. The horrifying thing about this was that she had accused my mother for years of taking this ring. It made me sick. It all went into her suit case. As close as I was to my aunt and as much as I loved her, I decided to tell my Grandpa and my mom. I knew it would destroy my relationship with her forever, but it was the right thing for me to do. Ever since I was a child, my Grandma had promised me that I could have her mahogany bed room set. My aunt couldn't stand that. She turned around and sued the family for all the antiques and sued me for the Buick. She didn't purchase them, she just didn't want me to have them. I am sure she saw RED when the judge granted me the Buick. I had found a letter from my Grandpa from before his death, in his hand-writing, stating that I was to receive the Buick. The nightmare didn't stop there. What happens next begins a terrifying chain of events that would forever change my life as I knew it.
