Through the Groves: A Memoir Hull Anne
"Anne Hull has written some of the most important stories of our time, beautifully, unflinchingly." --Rick BraggA richly evocative coming-of-age memoir set in the Florida orange groves of the 1960s by a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalistAnne Hull grew up in rural Central Florida, barefoot half the time and running through the orange groves her father's family had worked for generations. "Look now," her father told her as they rode through the mossy landscape together. The ground trembled from the vibrations of bulldozers and jackhammers clearing land for Walt Disney World.
All the while, Hull felt the pressures of girlhood closing in. She "It will all be gone." But the real threat was at home, where Hull was pulled between her idealistic but self-destructive father and her mother, a glamorous outsider from Brooklyn struggling with her own aspirations.
