By Sally ike a femme fatale in a “dime novel” Jersey City has had its share of bumpy roads, raw deals and men that done her wrong. But the past is the past and take a look at her now, bustling with new cons truction and a waterfro nt with a skyline of skyscr apers that have given th e old girl a much-needed facelift and a shot at th e brass ring. At the 4th annual Book Fair hosted by Jersey City’s Free Public Libr ary on Sat, Sept. 10th in Jersey City’s beautif ul Van Vorst Park, twenty local and no-so-lo cal writers will exhibit their newly published bo oks – all with some connection to Jersey Ci ty. Many of these writers have taken their experiences and/or fascination with Jersey City’s past and placed them on the pages of th eir new books, not just as a backdrop to the ac tion, but as one of the characters that grabs yo ur attention like a cold blooded blonde with a pearl-handled Derringe r. The event is free and ru n by Jersey City’s hard-working library sta ff hip to fostering new and established writers.

When you stroll over to the park that day, you’ll meet Eunie Guyre, author of “Happy Victory: Celebrating a Jersey City Childhood,” (publisher: Xlibris, 2011) the story of a little girl who revisits the Polish household she shared with her father, grandmother and aunt in Jersey City when her mother was hospitalized in a sanitarium. And although it seems like a sad story, Guyre emphasizes that hers was a happy childhood nurtured by a loving Jersey City family. con’t pg. 2
