In a fishing village near the coast of north Florida, Gloria spends the carefree days of summer with her loved ones, surrounded by a lush, natural landscape. She spends much of her time with her grandfather on the nearby rivers and streams, catching fish and exploring the wildlife from an old wooden boat. Gloria is initially afraid of the shadows cast by the last rays of daylight on the sand and shell-covered roads and the strands of Spanish moss that hang like gray beards from the limbs of cypress trees. As time passes by, however, Gloria learns to respect the forest and the river, with all their mysteries. "The author captures the magic of a girl's fishing trip with her grandpa. Using sensory words and bold illustrations, she paints vivid scenes of the adventure as seen through a child's eyes and explores the strong bond between a girl and her grandpa." --Janie Dempsey Watts, Author, Moon Over Taylor's Ridge
