What is To the Harbor Light about?

In a captivating account of his seventy-ninth year, the author takes us through the seasons on Martha's Vineyard, and through the delightful pathways of his mind. His descriptions of his day-to-day life are illumined with such "remarkable things" as a firefly flashing in a running collie's ruff or amusing sights as a clothesline sporting "furiously striped shorts." His observations of modern life are wryly provocative. When he evokes the nostalgic moments of a gentler era, he is warm and moving. Most of all, To The Harbor Light is a spirited personal testament in celebration of growing older. With wisdom, rue and laughter, Mr. Hough confronts the fullness of his years - for himself and for all his fortunate readers.
