Combining words and images in a narrative of love and new beginnings, A Party at Silver Beach situates the reader at a party where visual images of the guests lead to their words. By clicking on graphic images of guests, objects, or views from the windows, you move through the story like a guest at a party -- speaking to some guests, overhearing the conversations of others. As if at a real party, you are invited to either stay for only a short time or to spend a longer time. As at any party, where many of the guests are strangers, you are likely to discover only a few of the mysteries of their lives. Lovers come and go, missing each other, finding each other. And sporadic dark conversations punctuate the generally joyous experience of the celebration.
