Review: An awesome read about the "real" parts of Florida!

I just finished reading this amazing book! I was born and raised in South Florida and I was enthralled with the detail of the wilderness we have in this state, not just palm trees and oranges as most people think. The amazing history and various wild life captured and held me. I grew up making forts, with my brothers, in palmetto bushes in the back of our property.The story grabbed me from the beginning and the twists in the story kept me snagged. I liked how we got perspective from all the important people involved. The mother believing her husband was just semi-lost and the cop who loved her not sure he wanted to find him for her. Ryan's trek thru the swampy land was like walking beside him. The history of Florida is an amazing thing in and of itself. The travel forward of our family history is what makes (or breaks)us as who we are and how we can prevail with the strength we inherit from those people.Kudos on the details on the plane crash, my child (at 19 he got his FAA A&P; license). He is an aviation mechanic and a total aviation nut and liked how you wrote about it. This book is next on his list to read.
