Forever, Cedar Key

A year after the nuclear flash, Cedar Key's survivors are cautiously rebuilding - breeding chickens, harvesting shrimp, celebrating a wedding. Fragile, but holding. Then a fleet of sailing ships appears on the horizon, commanded by a face the island hoped never to see again.In 1998, 17-year-old Isaac Skipjack lost his father to island justice and fled Cedar Key with wounds that never healed. Now he's leading a fleet of Coasties back - carrying decades of unresolved hurt and an intimate knowledge of every waterway surrounding the island.Weaving between the post-nuclear present and the recent past, Forever, Cedar Key is a story of fathers and sons, loss and redemption, and what it means to fight for a place you love. It stands entirely on its own - even as it raises the stakes of everything that came before.
