About the Author

Miriam Walrath is a native Floridian who grew up in the island com-munity of Cedar Key. Four generations of her family have lived and worked on the island as commercial fisherman, crabbers, and oystermen. Miriam's parents owned and operated a grocery store on the island for 40 years.

Growing up in Cedar Key is a privilege that only a small few are grant-ed. After-school and weekends were spent playing on the beaches; or crabbing from the many fisherman's docks, or exploring the bayou and surrounding islands in a small skiff. The gulf served as a swim-ming pool and the quiet streets were safe enough to become the play-grounds for the island children. Childhood memories are as rich and vivid today as 50 years ago.

After graduating from college; the author's career as a school librari-an took her inland and off the island. The author is now retired after spending 40 years sharing her passion for reading, books, and libraries to children of all ages.

Cedar Key has experienced many changes over the last 50 years. It is no longer the small fishing village it once was. Nevertheless, the smell of salt air and the feel of mud between the toes continues to pull the author back to the idyllic setting of the island community. Cedar Key will always be home.
