- How Our Nation Was Sold an Impossible Dream in Florida

Bag om For Sale -- American Paradise

Silver Medal Winner of the Independent Publisher Book Awards for Best Regional Nonfiction in the Southeast The story of how Florida became entwined with Americans' 20th-century hopes, dreams and expectations, and how it was the site of mass delusion, real estate collapses, and catastrophic hurricanes. For Sale--American Paradise focuses on the experiences of William Jennings Bryan and Edwin Menninger, who were among the people who shaped the image of Florida that we know today and who sold that image as America's paradise.
