About the Book:

America’s attorney general said, “no man would immigrate to Florida—no, not from hell itself!” But the Walker families went, anyway! In 1829, Mary Adeline Walker followed her family into the wilds of territorial Florida. In frontier Florida, the enemy is nature and man, and the ordinary must become extraordinary—or perish.
