<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"In the earliest days of the last century, a Florida family strives to build a legacy in the burgeoning new city of Miami. In South Florida, a region that offers some of life's richest beauty as well as some of its harshest conditions, a city is rising. Eve and Max Harjo moved to Miami after the great freeze of 1894 wiped out their citrus grove. Eve is busy writing for the Miami Metropolis, Miami's first newspaper, while Max salvages the ships that fall victim to Florida's dangerous reefs and violent storms. Their nineteen-year-old daughter Eliza dives to bring up the salvaged treasures, uncaring that it is hardly woman's work. And her stubborn determination to educate local Seminoles--male and female--draws the ire of the tribe's chief. But Eliza's greatest conflict will be choosing between two men: a brilliant inventor working on the prototype for a new motorboat, and a handsome lighthouse keeper from the northwest. When a massive storm unleashes its fury on South Florida, it reveals people's truest characters and deepest secrets, changing lives as drastically as it changes the coastal landscape."--publisher's description.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In the earliest days of the last century, a Florida family strives to build a legacy in the burgeoning new city of Miami . . .<br /> <p><br /> In South Florida, a region that offers some of life's richest beauty as well as some of its harshest conditions, a city is rising.
