"Pearl's mother took her away from her family just weeks after she was born, and drove off to central Florida determined to begin a new life for herself and her daughter--in the parking lot next to a trailer park. Pearl grew up in the front seat of their '94 Mercury, while her mother lived in the back. Despite their hardships, mother and daughter both adjusted to life, making friends with the residents of the trailers and creating a deep connection to each other. All around them, Florida is populated with gun owners--those hunting alligators for sport, those who want to protect their families, and those who create a sense of danger"--Amazon.com.

Did I fully grasp what this book was trying to say? I have an inkling that I might not have. Did I enjoy my time with time with this novel and its beautiful prose? Absolutely. It was a thoroughly engaging if bleak read.
The imagery was pretty stunning and the characterization was on point.
