Living in Avalon: What It's Like to Live on Catalina Island: Living in Avalon: What It's Like to Live on Catalina Island

The life of author Tiffanie Edwards was forever changed the moment she first stepped off the boat in Avalon, on Catalina Island, in 2003. For the next ten years, she carried a nearly romantic obsession of little else but to live in a place where many people walk to work and a vehicle really isn't necessary but your neighbor is always willing to lend you his. An island where jobs and housing are acquired by word of mouth and your reputation is your reference. A small town where people really truly care about each other, the post office in fact does not deliver, and the hospital has not had a planned childbirth in decades. Life finally gave her that opportunity. Now a full-time resident of Avalon, she is asked daily the same questions she herself used to ask, such as: - "What is it like to live on Catalina?" - "How much does it cost to live here?" - "How do I locate housing?" - "How can I find a job on Catalina?" Written to answer these questions and more, this book is both a personal memoir and an informational guide to relocating to Avalon, and includes a chapter on contact and community information not available anywhere else.
