This is the Florida survival guide you didn't know you needed. Kimball Love is taking us on a journey with her through the ups and downs of living in the Sunshine State through her memoir, Florida Is Not For Sissies​​​​​​!

About Florida Is Not For Sissies:

As much a personal memoir as it is a survivor’s guide, this work embraces an informed, and at times humorous, geography of culture, inherent dangers and disasters-you-can-count-on that define Ms. Love’s beloved Florida. Debunking at least some of the mythology that permeates the pursuit of happiness, or at least retirement here, she takes her task seriously and considers this work a public service as well as a love letter to her native state. This work was created specifically to educate and protect residents and visitors from the physical and social realities that can, and just might, show up with time spent in the Sunshine State.
