Product Description
by J. Eddie (Author)
The crossing between our constructed fictions and unavoidable realities can occur anywhere, at any time. Whether taken courageously or by stupid accident, crossings await us in the appropriately gun-shaped Sunshine State. Florida Crossing will not bring you any closer to knowing how your neighbor fits into the drug trade, what really happens in the Bermuda Triangle, where you left your alligator, or how much alcohol is needed for your televised destruction in a Cat 5 hurricane. It will not settle the debate about Florida's future... or if it even has one. That is a different book. But after reading this one, you will know Florida can change you.
From the fun mental wanderings of a businessman waiting on the tide to drive home in "The Crossing" to the calming of a storm between a man and his aging father in "Angels in the Marina," J. Eddie offers readers a trip through his home state full of humor, humility, and heart. This collection of short stories will leave you ready to (re)visit Florida, move here permanently, or avoid it altogether. Your crossing awaits.
