OverviewA Loving Story of Childhood, Sisterhood and 1940s America Elayne Blackman's debut memoir, Coney Island Kids, takes readers on a nostalgic journey to a time and place often referred to as the Golden Age of the United States. Set in Jersey City, New York City and the beaches of Coney Island, Blackman's story, which is part memoir and part historical non-fiction, brings readers back to a time in America when radio ruled, children roamed free and patriotism was on full display as the country rallied for World War II. Filled with first-hand accounts of immigrants passing through Ellis Island, VE and VJ Day celebrations, the iconic Wonder Wheel, Christmas in Manhattan and even a cameo by Frank Sinatra, Coney Island Kids will entertain you, teach you and have you falling in love with Elayne, her sister Sandy and this incredible moment in America.
