Product Description
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.
