Description:
Florida's soundtrack is the ultra-high-voltage din of cultures slapped together, of people wired for everything from the fabulous to the fatal. In seven pieces that describe their stories, dreams, and nightmares, journalist Patrick Carr writes about the fascinating Floridians whose lives are the reality of the Sunshine State. They include alligator hunters near Lakeland, water warriors in Tampa, narcotics cops and political refugees in Miami, a Seminole chief in the Glades, and a cracker sage at Fisheating Creek.
Expand description
Like all transplants, Carr says, he loves Florida for what it isn't -- cold and old -- and for what it is -- hot and wild. His compassionate, spirited, and often funny action journalism captures the character of a frontier paradise.
