ABOUT THE BOOK
In World War II, Great Britain needed lumber to make planes, ships, and even newspapers—but there weren’t enough men to cut down the trees. Enter the fearless Lumber Jills! These young women may not have had much woodcutting experience, but they each had two hands willing to work and one stout heart, and they came together to do their part. Discover this lyrical story of home front heroism and female friendship.

“At Urban Souls, seekers of all kinds can get reacquainted with how wonderful healthy connection feels,” she says. “It’s a place for exploration, where a truly unique variety of classes and workshops are mindfully crafted to cultivate wellness—deep connection to mind, body, and spirit—simply by design.”
Manhattan Building Company, developer of The Cliffs Collection on Jersey City’s Hoboken border, has unveiled modernized amenities at the five-story building and delivered a long list of inspiring wellness facilities and resort-style recreational and social options that perfectly complement its luxury loft-style condominium homes.
The upgraded amenity package is one-of-a-kind on New Jersey’s “Gold Coast” having been designed to promote a significantly healthier lifestyle by incorporating elements of Blue Zone Living which emphasizes a balance of diet, good habits and social engagement to initiate healthier, happier and longer lives. Blue Zones are geographic regions worldwide where residents share common lifestyle traits.
Highlighting these practices is the onsite SANCRI Wellness Center, a holistic retreat that offers massage and body treatments, yoga room with yoga and meditation classes, amethyst bio mat, an oxygen bar, as well as a complete wellness events calendar featuring workshops, health programs as well as expected cooking classes tied into nutritional speakers. There’s also a fully-equipped fitness center with Himalayan salt sauna.
The socially-infused, activity-rich lifestyle experience at The Cliffs Collection extends to other indoor amenities at the industrial-inspired building which include a residents-only lounge and library with fireplace, children’s playroom and a lobby with concrete floors and adorned with historic photos of the building.
Located at 100 Paterson Plank Road in Jersey City, The Cliffs Collection is housed in a pre-war building began life in the early 1900s as a boiler factory. Its classic exterior has been restored as part of its rebirth as a signature landmark residential building.
The Cliffs Collection maximizes its location just blocks from all the entertainment, dining, shopping and more that line Hoboken’s lively Washington Street and Newark Avenue retail corridor. The 2ndStreet Light Rail Station is also steps from The Cliffs Collection, providing convenient access to both downtown Jersey City and uptown Hoboken.
