If you are from this area or new to it or even if you just appreciate the history of the Gulf Coastal transitions of generations - this novel will color in a lot of the humanity. It is a well told story that, as an historical novel should, ties in actual history with the hauntingly familiar main characters. They seem as if they formed from your very own ancestors in this area. And --- indeed they were. I found myself occasionally traversing the timeline of my own great grandparents and grandparents to bind my understanding of the events in the book to the folklore brought forward by family. <br /><br /> It helps to have read the first book in the "interwoven" series, "WAITING DEER", because some of the characters appear in each book and the timelines, overlap, and some of the "back-story" makes the current book even more enjoyable. BUT, it is not necessary. <br /><br />Each book can stand completely on its own. It found the "triangulation" of geography between Auburn, DeFuniak Springs and Milton/Coon Hill, to add greatly to my mental image of the period infrastructure and transportation and family ties and industry. Get your mental coloring book book out and let this book (both books) paint a picture for YOU ! <br /><br />Thank YOU, Dr. Miller !BUZZ CREEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04866088379634990967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618306626954855633.post-58761184995406935162017-06-24T13:35:02.506-04:002017-06-24T13:35:02.506-04:00Great interview.
