Greeting from Stone Harbor  is about growing up on a barrier island situated along the southern shores of New Jersey in Cape May County.  The author briefly recounts the island's history as well as her family's history with a special emphasis on the first fifteen years of her own life in Stone Harbor.

REVIEW by Fortune Bosco, noted Tampa author:

"Greeting from Stone Harbor is a book written by Sandi Scionti, which was recently published. This autobiographical novel describes the youth of the writer in a small town in New Jersey.

The writer talks about family unity, the simplicity of life and the virtues of a good life. There are nostalgic tones that tend to recapture a kind of existence that has left us. The reader is captivated by a style that keeps the mind intrigued. It is difficult to put this book down and Sandi Scionti should be complimented for this wonderful saga of her youth."
