Turtle In Paradise is a wonderful ride through the unique culture of Depression Era Key West. Turtle’s struggles bring her closer to the truth about family and what’s important. Each of the characters is interesting with a different nickname and a different way of surviving the Great Depression. The book is honest, through the eyes of Turtle, who is a no nonsense type of girl. Her adventures through cut-ups, diaper gangs and a brand new, very large, family lead the reader on a beautifully written journey of Key West.
