"A Land Remembered is hands down the best book I have ever read! I passed my copy along to my 3 siblings, my mom, and my grandfather. We all agree that this book can never be topped! As a true Floridian, I feel so much pride in my state and it's history. Patrick Smith is my all-time favorite author and I just wish that I could tell him how incredibly honored I feel to have his book sitting on my shelf at home, having been read by my entire family. Sarah May A Land Remembered is on my top ten list of all time greatest novels, which is interesting because I don't often read or enjoy historical fiction. This moving and epic novel tells the story of three generations of Florida settlers fighting to survive in old Florida. These settlers not only survive but prosper as well. However, with this prosperity comes a human and environmental price. Patrick Carlin

"So many students and teachers have written to me telling me how they enjoyed A Land Remembered. I guess I didn't think about using it to teach about Florida when I wrote it, but I'm so pleased that is happening in schools all over the state. Mostly I'm just glad young people like to read the story!" Patrick D. Smith
