I will look into these other authors you have mentioned. If they measure up to Connie, I'm there!<br /><br />Beth - You know, I've never looked to see if there are audios, but I would be surprised if there were. I'm going to look into it...<br /><br />Jackie - That is awesome. I can't wait to see what you think. If I try to separate myself from my emotions, I think anyone would enjoy the book, and at the same time, get a good flavor of the "real" Florida!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-42861175298786381372009-04-16T12:19:00.000-04:002009-04-16T12:19:00.000-04:00Books are always more special when they have a loc...Books are always more special when they have a local setting. <br /><br />I'm really interested to see if this works for someone who doesn't know Florida very well (I've only been once on a Disney trip!).

My list is getting very long. I also love Kaye Gibbons, Ellen Gilchrist and Bobbie Ann Mason to name a few. <br /><br />The south has given us a rich roster of women authors from which to choose.
