A new Southern voice, Vicki Riley, shines in her debut book. Cayo Hueso captures the essence of Key West with prodigious prose, vivid characters, and provocative stories. Vibrant paintings by Linda Cabrera complement the stories, creating a cherished keepsake and conversation piece. The bold fusion of genres creates an enticing experience for readers who may find themselves imagining what it would be like living at the end of the road on the two-by-four-mile Cayo Hueso (or Bone Island), referring to the bones of the Calusa who once lived in the Keys. A true melting pot of diversity and acceptance, Key West has become home to people from across the country and the world.
