Description: In this collection, Florida's Panhandle comes alive in a way that touristy Florida never will. These carnies, these crackers in their cement block houses, these young girls facing death, racism, poverty, pregnancy - all will float into your memory as easily and eerily as the Spanish moss surrounding them. Not only are the stories permeated with the swamps, alligators, and opossums of Panhandle Florida - they're filled with that area's soul.
