Moonshine, Muffins, and a Boat Named Helen: Stories from a Small Florida Town in the 1930S - Paperback

by Susan Adger (Author)

When an old church is torn down in 1930s Toad Springs, Florida, a trunk of stories reveals the town's secrets. Meet a war veteran teaching a runaway to read, a girl who insists on wearing overalls despite scandal, and a fisherman who must choose between his dreams and his pregnant wife. Through moonshine operations, failed schemes, and unexpected love stories, these interconnected tales paint an authentic portrait of Depression-era survival where everyone knows everyone's business-and nobody's past stays buried. A remarkable collection that captures a vanishing way of life with warmth, wit, and wisdom.

Laugh along with these heartwarming and hilarious down-home tales from another era in the sequel to Seashells, Gator Bones, and the Church of Everlasting Liability!
