The River is Home, Smith's first novel, is the story of Skeeter, a young boy whose family is poor in material goods but rich in their appreciation of the beautiful natural surroundings. The river figures strongly in their lives as a source of life and death. Angel City is the powerful and moving expos? of migrant workers in Florida in the 1970s that was made into a critically acclaimed film. Smith's depiction of conditions in migrant labor camps drew attention to this appalling situation.

The River Is Home, and Angel City
These books are written by an author who has a steadfast following amongst Florida history buffs. Seeing that I like local histories, the two books in one made for some interesting reading. The stories had a lot of potential and revealed a lot of interesting and relatively unknown Florida history (you mean there were people living there before Walt Disney dreamed up the Epcot Center?). But I think the thing that limited Smith from become really big (in the spirit of James Michener) was his writing style. It was not as memorable in my opinion.
