Although I didnt actually read it myself; my father was thrilled to tears with the book. He and his wife moved to Kissimmee; Florida about three years ago and they are very happy there. I was glad I was able to find the perfect gift for his special day.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great Book!By New MamaGreat book about old Florida!
