Happy Spring!
   
Our next discussion group will convene on March 25, when we will be reading our "Florida-themed" book for this year, A Land Remembered by Patrick D. Smith.  The book, recommended by Jean K., is a multi-generational story about the MacIvey family, describing life in the central part of our state, the true "Old Florida" in the days before Disney; it has garnered several awards, including the Most Outstanding Florida Historical Novel. 
  
Smith's website has a variety of additional information about his books, as well as DVDs, "Cracker stuff," and the like, available here:
  
  
Smith's site also links to a video (approximately 7 minutes) in which he discusses the research and writing of the novel:
