Fiction
In this sequel to Amy Hill Hearth’s “funny and charming”
(Publishers Weekly) debut novel, Miss Dreamsville and the
Collier County Women’s Literary Society, the eponymous book
club reunites one year later, in the late summer of 1964. Their mission: to fight a large development along the tidal
river where member Robbie-Lee grew up and where his mother,
Dolores Simpson, a former stripper turned alligator hunter,
still lives in a fishing shack. The developer is Darryl Norwood, ex-husband of narrator Dora
Witherspoon, who returns to Collier County to assist in the
battle. An old land deed, the discovery that one of the key
characters has been using a false name, and a dramatic court
hearing are just a few of the highlights. Not to mention the
reappearance of the Ghost of Seminole Joe. Just as Hearth’s debut explored the ways we can find a sense
of belonging in other people, her latest novel shows how
closely tied each of us is to our sense of home—and the
conflicts that can arise when our idea of that home becomes
threatened. For Darryl, the river is a place ripe for
development. For Dora, who’s known as the Turtle Lady
because she rescues Everglades “snappers,” it’s a place that
belongs to the critters. And for Dolores, former stripper,
it’s a place to hide from the world…
