I wasn't prepared for the triggers in this book and that's on me. There are such thoughtful stories and powerful writing here however I suggest that you educate yourself before you jump into this one!

Florida is the setting of these stories, but it’s just background. Background for stories about coming of age, confronting the past, and coming to terms with an unknown present. Every story was excellent, easy to read, but powerful. I will certainly be checking out anything else Dantiel Moniz writes!
