Heaven and Earth

Heaven and Earth

by Steve Wick

Pulitzer Prize Winner


This book unfolds the drama of the vanishing landscape of the north fork and is a "must-read" for anyone who lives in and loves this paradise on earth.

"The North Fork of Long Island is a peninsula of rich topsoil that sticks like a bony finger into the Atlantic Ocean, two hours east of New York City. The land is flat and rich, fertile and almost free of rocks, the way it isn't farther north along the New England coastline. In the seventeenth century, led by their minister, the first Englishmen arrived with the purpose of setting up a religious colony, a heaven on earth, where God's rule would apply to religious as well as civic life. It was to be their kingdom of god."
