A divorced dad taking his seven-year-old to the zoo, a middle-aged farmer who gets his tractor stuck in the mud, a twenty-something yuppie who thinks he belongs back on the farm, a woman from South Philly who gets the country house she always wanted, and a bachelor trying to reconnect with his old friend over a bottle of gin--these are the protagonists in this short story collection. "Five Stories from South Jersey" is an assortment of vignettes, brief glimpses into the fictional lives of people sharing the same residential space. Whether from city, suburb, or farmland, each character is navigating a way amidst the organized chaos of urban sprawl.

Composed, for the most part, from sketches that were published in the Courier-Post newspapers of Camden, New Jersey, Beck provides us with a series of stories of towns too tiny or uncertain for today's maps. Together, these sketches help to create a more complete picture of the history of New Jersey. A connecting skein of untold or little known wartime history--the Revolution, the War of 1812, and the conflict of North against South--runs through most of the sketches. Many of the sketches concern the pine towns and their people, "the pineys" who lived in the Jersey pine barrens.

Initial Jewish settlements in South Jersey emerged in the mid-19th century and offered a safe haven for people to re-create strong families and practice religion freely, without fear of government-sponsored violence. Looking for work, German Jews first migrated from their community in Philadelphia to Trenton, and then spread south to Wildwood. Although Jewish settlers were mainly known as merchants and shop owners, many towns also boast the development of the Jewish farmer. While agriculture would eventually be abandoned in favor of manufacturing, there were many extremely successful and historically significant Jewish farms that flourished in the south. Now, of course, people of the Hebrew faith are productive players in every walk of life. Jewish South Jersey touches on the many contributions made by Jewish people in the southern part of the Garden State.
