Renée Greene Murphy, a St. James-based educator and author, has released The Art of Living with Purpose: Stories of Inspiration & 33 Signature Cocktails, a tribute to her brother, Robert Greene Jr., who died in a car accident in 2022. The book combines heartfelt stories with original cocktail recipes and is rooted in both grief and gratitude. It is designed to preserve the impact Greene had on Long Island, where he was a longtime bartender and mixologist known for his unique ability to connect with people. While the book is deeply affected by loss, Murphy hopes it will offer readers a perspective on appreciating relationships and happiness.
