Rodman the Keeper

Though born in the Northeast and raised in the Midwest, Constance Fenimore Woolson (the grand-niece of renowned American author James Fenimore Cooper) spent many summers traveling in Florida and throughout the South. Woolson draws on her life experiences as an outsider in that often intensely insular culture to craft the insightful and sensitive stories and vignettes collected in Rodman the Keeper: Southern Sketches.
