If you've ever wondered what happened to Christine Moore from "God on a Harley," you won't want to miss this touching new sequel! In "Joyride," Christine has done some serious spiritual backsliding over the last ten years. Marriage and motherhood have changed her identity and challenged her previous beliefs about love and romance. The demands of family and career have buried the truths she once knew beneath a mountain of resentment, dirty laundry, and endless bas of groceries. Then, on one of her late-night excursions to the supermarket, Christine runs into Joe again... and everything changes.

"Images of America: Glen Cove gave the reader an overview of an extremely complex city history by focusing on the diverse geographic areas and multiethnic populace of the community from its founding as Musketa Cove in 1668 until its urban renewal in the 1970s. Glen Cove Revisted examines the community starting with its official naming in 1834 and explores how a rural mill town paradoxically became both a 19th-century industrial center and a resort enclave that sheltered the country estates of the financiers and industrialists who shaped America. In this second book, there is a greater focus on the individuals who created the community and the interrelationships between the immigrants who came to live and work here and the privileged class who employed them and became patrons of the city."--P. 7
