Description
When a young man's body is found by the railroad tracks, the mysterious murder threatens the peace of the small town of Eatonville, Florida. Zora believes she knows who the murderer is: a shape-shifting gator-man with a hunger for human voices. She and her best friends, Carrie and Teddy, set out to prove this theory. In a search for the terrifying spectre, the three friends stumble onto a truth more chilling even than the nightmares of their own imagining. Set in the hometown of American author Zora Neale Hurston, this fictionalized coming-of-age story is the first project ever to be endorsed by the Zora Neale Hurston Trust that was not written by Hurston herself. (From back cover)
A fictionalized account of Zora Neale Hurston's childhood with her best friend Carrie, in Eatonville, Florida, as they learn about life, death, and the differences between truth, lies, and pretending. Includes an annotated bibliography of the works of Zora Neale Hurston, a short biography of the author, and information about Eatonville, Florida.
