"Rhiannon, proud and spirited, is alone in the world after Bull Beynon, her one-time lover, marries someone else. She gains a respectable post as housekeeper to an elderly man, but when he dies his waspish sister throws her out onto the streets where she faces destitution. At the entrance to the notorious Paradise Park Hotel she encounters Sal, a young street girl whom she tries to rescue. Her attempt ends in failure and Sal returns to her old life on the streets, leaving Rhiannon is even more determined to become respectable. She obtains a job as maid to unhappy Janey Buchan, who takes a liking to Rhiannon and teaches her ladylike ways. Her rascally husband Dafydd, once the lover of Llinos Mainwaring, causes Janey great unhappiness, and eventually she runs away, leaving Rhiannon once more without a job or a home. In desperation, knowing that little stands between her and a return to her old life, she finds herself back at the Paradise Park Hotel. Once scarcely more than a bawdy house, it has now changed hands and Rhiannon starts working there, helping gradually to transform it from a place of ill-repute into one of the finest hotels in Swansea. The only thing lacking in her

Allegra Goodman has delighted readers with her critically acclaimed collections Total Immersion and The Family Markowitz, and her celebrated first novel, Kaaterskill Falls, which was a national bestseller and a National Book Award finalist. Abandoned by her folk-dancing partner, Gary, in a Honolulu hotel room, Sharon realizes she could return to Boston—and her estranged family—or listen to that little voice inside herself. The voice that asks: “How come Gary got to pursue his causes, while all I got to pursue was him?” Thus, with an open heart, a soul on fire, and her meager possessions (a guitar, two Indian gauze skirts, a macramé bikini, and her grandfather’s silver watch) Sharon begins her own spiritual quest. Ever the optimist, she is sure at each stage that she has struck it rich “spiritually speaking”—until she comes up empty. Then, in a karmic convergence of events, Sharon starts on the path home to Judaism. Still, even as she embraces her tradition, Sharon’s irrepressible self tugs at her sleeve. Especially when she meets Mikhail, falls truly in love at last, and discovers what even she could not imagine—her destiny.

"Paradise Park was the "colored only'" counterpart to Silver Springs, a central Florida tourist attraction famous for its crystal-clear water and glass bottom boats. Together the two parks formed one of the biggest recreational facilities in the country before Disney World. From 1949 to 1969, boats passed each other on the Silver River--blacks on one side, whites on the other. Though the patrons of both parks shared the same river, they seldom crossed the invisible line in the water"--Jacket.

It is the time of Patsy Cline and listening to the Red Sox and Yankee Games on a transistor radio. The main character in The Promise of Paradise Park is an adolescent girl, Vicky, who describes impassioned experiences within her family and within the neighborhood surrounding Paradise Park. Themes in the novel center around family life, diversity, alcoholism, murder, compassion, and coming of age. Vicky's naivete to dangerous situations with men is a constant worry for her mother. Often times, mother and daughter are in conflict over these situations. Vicky describes the dynamic family life that surrounds her. Her grandparents and Uncle Marky, live below Vicky and her family, in a third story apartment building. Sometimes there is a commotion down below. Above Vicky, lives Mrs. Golecki and her two older sons. Vicky's grandmother is jealous of Mrs. Golecki and displays animosity toward her. Members of Vicky's family have adverse reactions to alcohol leading to dire consequences. When the family needs to work together, including aunts and cousins who live in the neighborhood, they do so with compassion for each other. The neighborhood is diverse and Vicky enjoys the musical spirit of her black neighbors. At one point, Vicky and a friend, end up at a lesbian party at Halloween time. The law of eminent domain has a major effect on the family and the neighborhood that Vicky lives in. The family had to make major adjustments to their life plans. Much of their lives centered around Vicky's father's Liquor Store, and her grandparents' Grocery Store. Vicky had a friend, Bobby. Here is an excerpt describing their relationship.Bobby and I had our favorite spot in the cemetery, the area where gravestones from the 1800's stood, many with letters smoothed by the weather. Bobby and I liked to read the dates and the names on the markers. It appeared that a Mr. Suddy and his wife died young. He was 38, and she was 36. Their son died at 15. The three were buried side by side. Bobby and I wondered what had happened to them. Did they die in a fire or from an illness, or from something different? Bobby said there were many farm accidents years ago. We looked at the gravestones and wondered what life was like back then. Were the people all farmers? How'd they travel? Were there any snacks to eat? What games did the children play? Did they have time to play? We had question after question about the past. Vicky's intense experiences continue when she spends a summer with a friend, Barbara, at the beach. She meets two British couples, Pinkee and Earl and Martha and Reggie. and their housemaid, Elouise. A dangerous drama ensues with them. The teenagers enjoy the beach, including a concert by the Beachboys. Vicky enjoys her freedom at the beach away from her mother. Returning home, Vicky found that the promise of Paradise Park carried her and her family thru the difficult times.
