"In this coming of age story set in a small, swampy Louisiana town in the summer of 1982, 11 year old Sunshine deals with her changing body and the complications that brings, while her father struggles with issues of his own. Family secrets and traumas from generations past unfold in this wonderfully written novel. The New York Times named The Crocodile Bride as one of its “11 New Books We Recommend”—and it has become one of my new favorites too. To make things even better, this was written by one of BookPeople’s long time regulars. Do yourself the favor and grab this book now." – Emily, one of our CoffeePeople baristas!
