The book tells of the Dewey's first pioneer homestead, nestled in the sand pine woods. She describes her encounters with the Seminole Indians and surviving in the unforgiving South Florida climate. Their grand estate Ben Trovato, nestled in a palm grove, is then revealed, a stunning Victorian cottage on the shores of Lake Worth. Be enchanted by a long lost time in a wild and new paradise called Palm Beach. Also includes the bonus story The Tale of Satan.
