Book Details

The Shocking Secrets of a Sleepy Seaside Town

Nestled on the north shore of Long Island, the beautiful seaside village of Northport has been a getaway destination for centuries. Young John Terry, one of seven siblings in an Irish Catholic family, grew up in this charming town. Beneath its picture-perfect exterior, Northport was full of stories and scandals. See Northport through the eyes of a curious and attentive young boy, his world full of crazy relatives, wonderful family friends, scary neighbors, a midget, a spider monkey, the Catholic Church, and those damned Kennedys. But the beautiful village and town docks of Northport showed John an unexpected side of life when a horrifying murder rocked the town to its core and sent the Terry family into a tailspin. Candid and fascinating, this memoir of a life-altering tragedy is compulsively readable.
