Synopsis

Arriving in Fort Ogden, Florida, in 1918, to start a new life, Delia Delaney finds that the tragedy that has shadowed her life for the past eight years is not easily forgotten. Taking a job at the fashionable new Gasparilla Inn at Boca Grande, Florida, she begins her new life, only to find her past haunting her future happiness with a wealthy Boston lawyer--and the man she left behind in Kentucky. Laced with Southwest Florida's lush vegetation and history, the novel depicts "pre-boom" Florida. Clarissa Thomasson received her B.A. in English literature from Duke University and her Master's degree in English Literature from the University of Florida. She taught English literature, creative writing, and journalism in Montgomery County, Maryland, before moving to Nags Head, North Carolina, with her husband. There she pursued her writing career and published her first three novels-- Defending Hillsborough, Reconstructing Hillsborough, and Lorinda's Legacy. In 2000 she and her husband relocated to Venice, Florida, where she published five children's books, called The Little Green Monkey Stories, in 2001. In 2003 Thomasson published her first book of collected poems, Alone. Her first Florida historical novel, Florida Shadows, was published in 2007. The sequel, Florida Secrets, was published in 2009. The third novel of the trilogy, Florida Sunset, was published in August, 2011. The stand-alone novel, Surviving Sarasota, was published in April, 2014.
