Book excerpt: The nine stories in this first collection, satisfyingly diverse in plot and theme, take place in a scattering of South Florida settings - Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, the Tamiami Trail, the Keys, Hillsboro Inlet, the Everglades, In among the drama of hurricanes and plane crashes, of kidnappers, escaped convicts, and smugglers, Douglas plants flags that mark the stories as her own: plume hunters who threaten Florida's ibises, irrational schemes to drain the Everglades, what happens when human beings collide with nature in the form of water, weather, or wildlife. The author whose 'River of Grass' awoke Florida and the nation to the environmental crisis facing the Everglades reminds us in these stories of a Florida, then as now, as fragile, varied, and intriguing as a Sanibel Island shell collection.
