Abstract

Edited transcript of an interview with Tara Hire of Monhegan Island. She has lived on the island full time for 18 years, has served on the town's board of assessors, and owned a grocery store, a restaurant, and a wellness business. She talks about life on the island -- during the pandemic, off-island trips, and the intensity of the summer tourist season. She also discusses some misconceptions people have about island life and what sort of person would do well in that life.
