One sunny morning in 1969, Frances Ellerby finds herself in a
place called Stiltsville, a community of houses built on pilings in
the middle of Biscayne Bay. It's the first time the Atlanta native
has been out on the open water, and she's captivated. On the dock
of a stilt house, with the dazzling Miami skyline in the distance,
she meets the house's owner, Dennis DuVal--and a new future reveals
itself.
Turning away from her quiet, predictable life back home, Frances
moves to Miami to be with Dennis. Over time, she earns the
confidence of his wild-at-heart sister and the approval of his
oldest friend. Frances and Dennis marry and have a child--but
rather than growing complacent about their good fortune, they
continue to face the challenges of intimacy in the complicated city
they call home.
With Stiltsville, Susanna Daniel weaves the beauty, violence,
and humanity of Miami's coming-of-age with an enduring story of a
marriage's beginning, maturity, and heartbreaking demise.
