    A reviewer

    'Beach to Bluegrass' captures the spirit of big cities like Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Portsmouth in Hampton Roads but then ventures into the lesser-known climates of Buggs Island Lake, Whitetop and Martinsville. The result is a mix of both legend and lots of history. This book tells stories about Virginia and, uniquely, all come have something in common: proximity to Highway 58, the longest road in Virginia. The pictures in the book are large and captivating, plus there are road directions. Much of what you will find are stories with a twist - sometimes tragic, often ones that will make you laugh. You can use this book to tool around Tidewater and find such hidden gems as the Dismal Swamp or Civil War sites. But you can also simply go out to the mountains and see stuff that looks like it belongs in Ireland. And the bluegrass? Well, there are lots of charming places to hear the music. But the title, you'll find, has to do with where the book ultimate ends: at the doorway to the bluegrass of Kentucky. All in all, it's quite a journey.
