Description

USA Book News "Best Books 2011" Award finalist for literary fiction, Mangrove Underground is part Florida eco-terror mystery, part coming of age narrative that subverts the expectations of both genres in a tale of journeys and endings, and how getting there changes you. The story is told in a series of intertwined narratives, each with its own narrator. As the stories converge, the main character, an idealistic park ranger, realizes what he must do to save the community he loves and transform his life into something he can be proud of.
