This novel covers a 100+ year span and is about Florida beings transformed from a vast wilderness to the tourist area it is today. It begins during the civil war and ends in 1968. While the family that is featured in the story is fictional the events and setting are factual. It is the kind of book you can read to your kids and yet it also deals with complicated themes. It should be required reading for every one who lives in or is visiting Florida. The book made me tearful at least six times. Descriptions of the natural landscapes of Florida in the late 1800s were absolutely breathtaking. Please click on the author's name and book title above to follow the links to more information.
