ALLIGATORS, OUTLAWS, AND TOURISTS?
It's 1914, and Florida's last frontier is coming of age. A young Cracker who yearns to become a Florida cow hunter, a Seminole who sees his way of life disappearing, and an educated African-American girl who is looking for a better future lose their boat on Lake Okeechobee and are stranded in the wild and mysterious Florida Jungle. When outlaws block the only road back, they have to find a new way home. How will they survive and who will they be when they get there?
With a section of old photos and short historical essays at the end, "The River Way Home" is historical fiction full of action, humor, and conflicts that remain contemporary today. It's a classic tale of friendship and coming-of-age that will take you back in time to your childhood favorites.
