the Coral Down by Riverbank

Florida's Forgotten Coast, located on the state's Panhandle coastline, is cherished for its undeveloped, uncrowded, and pristine beaches, marshes, and bays. The region is idyllic, peaceful, and full of old-world charm. But for twenty-year-old Coral, who just wants to get to know her newly discovered father, Ralph, the area harbors secrets that threaten to tear their tenuous relationship apart. Delia, the blue-haired hussy who works as a waitress at Ralph's restaurant appears to have her eyes on Coral' s boyfriend, Matt. Meanwhile, Sol, Matt's ne'er-do-well father who is driving in from Las Vegas, gets stranded in the Florida swamps and has a hungry alligator on his trail. And 89-year-old Aunt Allie is tormented by a series of eerily prophetic dreams of white doves flying down Grandma Rosella's arms and out beyond her fingers. What else could the dreams mean but death?
