As a longtime New Providence resident, which also happens to be the birthplace of TAP, I'm especially excited to call TAP my new home. I'm looking forward to finding all the funny, ironic, and uniquely absurd parts of being Lost in Suburbia and sharing them with the TAP readers each week!"
Michael Shapiro, CEO and Publisher of TAPinto.net, said, "We are honored to have Tracy Beckerman join the TAPinto family. Since TAPinto.net is a network of online local newspaper franchises which are primarily owned and operated by women, many of whom are stay-at-home moms, Beckerman's writing about being a stay-at-home mom and reinventing oneself particularly resonates with us. Tracy has a genuine gift for writing and we are excited that she will now be sharing that gift with our 3.6 million readers."
