This book is not about religion. It is about people. Religion only helps to tell the story about the people in it. Sometime in the not-too-distant past, there may have been a defining moment in your life when situations either came together or completely fell apart. It may have been a marriage, a career or something else; however, when something bad happened, either you chose to accept it or you attempted to overcome it. This is what happens to the two main characters in the story you are about to read. They choose the latter. They attempt to overcome the bad things that happen to them and subsequently they have their defining moment together. They are married to each other and they want to do well in their jobs in order to have respect both in their careers and in their church. Instead, jealousy and rage confront them. They must either succumb to the blind and selfish ambition of others or figure a way to overcome those situations and succeed amidst denominational politics and decep-tion. They are deeply involved with the people and issues that most denominations face today. Is this a stretch? No. The real problem in this story is how these two people meet and handle the defining moment in their lives as the bad behavior of a few persons challenges them. You must remember, however, even though all the characters in the story are ficti-tious, they are still the people of God.

The Smallwood Store in Chokoloskee was an informal community center for pioneers almost 100 years ago who shopped and got their mail there. It also did a thriving trade with the native Seminoles who trusted founder Ted Smaalwood.
The building and its artifacts have been preserved for our enjoyment and education. Visiting the Museum is like stepping back in time - it contains nostalgic items like original Coke bottles, medicinal remedies, and old-fashioned household goods, plus records going back to the early days.
The author has encapsulated the history of the area and the story of this unique family.

The historic Bank of Everglades Building was completed in 1927 as part of Barron Collier's development of his new county in southwest Florida. It served as the financial hub until 1962 after which it was a boarding house or Bed & Breakfast. In March 2021 it was donated by its owner to the Everglades Society for Historic Preservation who are restoring it to again be a dignified landmark in Everglades City.
