They range from being the first White sixth grader in a previous all Black school in 1968 to helping to blow the whistle on an alarming proposal to develop Florida state parks with hotels and golf courses in 2024. In between, Alderson describes a harrowing alligator attack that occurred on a South Florida kayak trip, rescuing a stranded kayaker during a severe thunderstorm, and briefly living on one of Florida's last hippie communes. Humor is sprinkled throughout the book such as stories about unsuccessful attempts to deal with pesky squirrels and encountering a doctor who misdiagnoses a poison ivy rash for scarlet fever. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese are tales to make you laugh, cry, and marvel at the rich depth of life and the Florida experience.","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47595262083223,"sku":"9798241585073","price":1415.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798241585073.webp?v=1774989060","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-florida-dance-life-stories-from-the-sunshine-state-9798241585073","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
