20th Anniversary of Ecology of a Cracker Childhood
Janisse Ray grew up in a junkyard along U.S. Highway 1, hidden from Florida-bound travelers by a hedge at the edge of the road and by hulks of old cars, stacks of blown-out tires, and primeval jumbles of rusted metal. Ecology of a Cracker Childhood tells how a childhood spent in rural isolation -- living in the country but not even knowing how to swim -- grew into a passion to save the almost vanished longleaf pine ecosystem that existed before the region was ever called the South.
