Scorpions, A Key West Tale — William Williamson

Two months shy of his sixteenth birthday, native born Florida Keys Conch, Henry Roberts is dropped off by his father, Jake, to stay at his Great Aunt Lela's house in Key West for the summer while Jake disappears to go shrimping. Hard lessons are in store for Henry as he discovers that even though others may find living in the hot, humid tropics of the Keys paradise, life and love in the islands can be cold and unforgiving.

Scorpions is a classic, memorable Key West tale of life and death coming full circle.
