by Diane Roberts (Author)
A sweeping story of Florida told through eight generations of family history
Part
family memoir, part political commentary, part apologia, Dream
State tells the grand and sometimes crazy story of Florida through the
eyes of one of its native daughters. Acclaimed journalist and NPR
commentator Diane Roberts has many family secrets to tell as she reveals
how her ancestors settled in Florida and wove themselves into the very
fabric of the state.
With a storyteller's talent for
setting great scenes, Roberts lays out the sweeping history of eight
generations of Browards and Bradfords, Tuckers and Robertses. Continuing
into the recent past with the botched presidential election of 2000,
Roberts renders Florida's inhabitants with a deep, familial affection.
While exposing the real people whom Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard
fictionalized for years, Dream State ultimately reveals the cogs and
wheels that make the state tick.
