Irvington, AL, April 13, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Myra Goleman, a wife and grandmother of ten who retired from being an elementary school teacher after twenty-eight years, has completed her new book, “The Oleander Hotel”: a captivating story of a young girl who lives in the city of Bayou La Batre and dreams of working at a nearby hotel she considers to be one of the most beautiful places in the world.

“‘The Oleander Hotel’ takes place in a simpler time before computers, electricity, or motorcars,” writes Goleman. “The year is 1910. The town of Coden, Alabama, is a small resort town on the railroad line. The GM&O railroad runs to this resort town daily. There are seven hotels along the beach road. One of the most beautiful hotels in town is the Oleander. It has a beautiful view of the bay. People love to take the train to Coden and stay at the Oleander. The adjacent town of Bayou La Batre is where our main character, Lillie, lives. It is a fishing village with canneries and factories. She dreams of getting a job at the Oleander Hotel.

“One day, her Papa tells her about a job opening at the Oleander Hotel.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Myra Goleman’s new book is inspired by the author’s childhood growing up in Bayou La Batre and will take readers on a stirring coming-of-age journey as Lillie chases after her goals and realizes her dreams at the incredible Oleander Hotel.

Why Music Matters—Especially in Later Life

The release of Magical Musical Memories aligns with research indicating music’s capacity to reduce stress and rekindle recollection among people living with dementia. It also echoes widely shared experiences—from football legend Sir Alex Ferguson to the family of singer Tony Christie—of music’s unique ability to unlock the past.

Inside the Community Spirit

“From the songs that we danced to at our first school dance, to the albums that became the soundtrack of our lives, each memory is a testament to the moments that have defined us,” said Helen Davies-Parsons, Chief Executive of Dormy Care Communities. “Music can transport us back to a specific time and place. Through these recollections, memories will now live on.”

How to Buy the Book—and Support Local Charities

The coffee-table style book is priced at £15. Copies can be purchased by contacting any of the five homes directly; card payments can be taken over the phone and books can be posted. A portion of every sale will be donated to local charities.
