Milly’s Offerings


Millicent (Milly) Vetterlein is The Boardwalks Collective's Godmother, as well as Island author, genius, mentor, and our personal icon. She has lived here for over 20 years, anchored to islands both geographically and emotionally. The stories she shares offer a lens on lives drawn to this island.

In a life-long love affair with the English language, Milly has written several books and enjoys the occasional book signing at the boardwalk, celebrating the support and comfort that women gain in sharing their stories, poems, and art.

collection of three books: "Moorings", "Once Upon the Possible", "In Sight of Goodwill Island"
