An Excerpt:
PORTRAIT OF A GIRL, GULF-SIDE
Naples, Florida
At first, I thought it was happiness
that made her rock her head from left to right,
again, again — that girl, maybe twelve, in her pink
skirted two-piece, her dark hair swimming,
gorgeous, down her back. She clutched an Ipad
in a thick pink rubber case.
