Florida summer reading encore: 'No Ordinary Bird' and 'The Purple Ribbon'
In a rebroadcast of The Florida Roundup's special "Florida summer reading" edition from May 22, we spoke with two Florida-based authors.
In No Ordinary Bird, Artis Henderson writes about her father, a pilot involved in a South Florida drug smuggling operation in the 1970s and 80s who died in a plane crash — a crash that she survived.
The Purple Ribbon, the debut novel from writer Kip Lyman, is a psychological thriller set in Fort Pierce, the story follows two separate individuals manipulated by an evil, otherworldly force.
