The Boy Who Swam with Alligators (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218098506)

The Boy Who Swam with Alligators

In the far reaches of the untamed Florida Everglades, two children grow up only miles apart - yet worlds away from one another.

One family arrives in Southwest Florida seeking a simpler life. The other endures tragedy that leaves their young son in the care of an Indigenous tribe deep within the wild. As the years pass in the quiet town of Cypress Cove, the boy and the girl are drawn together by fate - or perhaps by a single photograph that refuses to let the past remain hidden.

Together, they explore the beauty and perils of the Everglades, uncover long-buried secrets, and discover that courage, friendship, and forgiveness often rise from the most unexpected places.

Set in a time when neighbors knew one another and nature shaped daily life, The Boy Who Swam with Alligators is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about resilience, connection, and finding purpose.

Perfect for readers who enjoy atmospheric Southern fiction, stories of family and friendship, and novels rooted in place and heart.
