Greece native publishes her second book

Submitted by News 10NBC

Monday, April 8th, 2013, 9:31am

Marilyn Wright always enjoyed writing and long desired to write a book.

She accomplished her goal in 2011. Now, she's at it again. She recently published "Patchwork Pieces, Vol. II, More Threads of My Life."

Wright mines from her memories of growing up in the 1950s: the friendships she formed with neighbor girls on Elmgrove Road, spending summers at the family cottage in Parma, and working at the hot dog stand at Manitou Beach. She also includes her thoughts on places like West Ridge Road and Bogus Point Lighthouse.

The Hilton resident said she tries to write as though she is talking with a friend over a cup of coffee. She also laces her short stories with humor, she said.

"I think it sort of generates a memory - a memory for somebody else in my age group, or even the younger kids," she said.
