Anne Hull grew up in rural Central Florida, barefoot half the time and running through the orange groves her father’s family had worked for generations. The ground trembled from the vibrations of bulldozers and jackhammers clearing land for Walt Disney World. “Look now,” her father told her as they rode through the mossy landscape together. “It will all be gone.” But the real threat was at home, where Hull was pulled between her idealistic but self-destructive father and her mother, a glamorous outsider from Brooklyn struggling with her own aspirations.

An illuminating read
Revisado: 07-13-23
Loved this wonderful memoir by Anne Hull, longtime reporter for the Washington Post, on her childhood & adolescence in central Florida from the 50s to the early 70s. It’s an exquisitely written personal story, and an historical account of life in there before Disney and the Florida boom. She lays out the cultural foundations of the place, including the intrinsic racism, wonderfully describes the wild landscape and the unique characters that populated it. An illuminating read!
