Florida—like the rest of America—experienced tremendous economic growth during World War II. Money poured into the Sunshine State and generated widespread employment. In this setting we find our main character’s father on a quest to find the perfect job. As the family travels from town to town among Florida’s lakes, swamps and one-room schoolhouses, the boy gets into numerous jams—like a homemade zip line disaster and a dark swamp alligator attack. Yet he makes his best childhood friend in Windermere, whose mother and grandmother introduce him to the southern comfort of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and ice tea.
