About this book
Josie Iselin, the author of Abrams' popular Heart Stones, turns to sea glass hearts for a companion volume that promises to be just as appealing. Beachcombers the world over treasure sea glass—the shards of broken glass that are tumbled by the waves into smooth, pebblelike forms. They know which colors are common (green and brown) and which are unusual (black, yellow, red, and, especially, orange) and they can often identify the age and origin of a specimen. On rare occasions, sea glass takes the shape of a heart, the universal symbol of love. In Sea Glass Hearts, Iselin assembles an inspiring collection of these precious objects that are free for the taking—if you are lucky enough to find them!

Information
Beachcombers treasure sea glass. For
millennia, glass, mostly in the form of
bottles, has been thrown into the sea. It
is broken into small shards that are then
smoothed into rounded shapes by wave
and sand, in much the same way beach
stones are formed. Serious collectors learn
about the different varieties of glass and
the rarity and origins of different colors,
but they have no advantage over the
casual seeker in the quest for sea glass.

In Sea Glass Hearts, Josie Iselin
offers a rare and exquisite collection. As
in her previous Heart Stones, she focuses
on heart-shaped specimens that carry
a special meaning to all who find them,
and uses a photographic technique that
makes them glow with color. Her poetic
text evokes the moment of discovery
and reminds us that love and honor and
authenticity and other qualities we strive
for are as elusive, beautiful, and attainable
as sea glass hearts glittering in the surf
and sand.
