Description
These stories are as joyous, painful and mysterious as childhood itself and capture the legacy of a people who lived in rural southwest Florida from the 1950s to the very present. Nancy Risher Mott, a third generation Floridian, writes in a way that you can imagine yourself wading through the Everglades, being chased by a bull or finding a foreign coin on a deserted beach on the southern-most tip of Florida. Intermixing the present with the past she creates a portrait of a simpler time and place.
