Synopsis

In the fall of 1950, Vicki Leigh Bayle learned that love and hate are drawn from the same well, and that some of the people she loved most kept stores of each in equal measure. In the segregated context of South Florida, she learned that prejudice is not always about color, and that truth, as adults define it, is malleable. During one tragic weekend of violence, Vicki saw that all living beings inexplicably are both good and evil, depending on circumstances. Including herself. This was a concept she would accept late in life, but never truly embrace. Gloria Taylor Weinberg is a fourth-generation Floridian and award-winning journalist who now writes for Indian River Magazine. She lives in Fort Pierce, Florida, with her husband, Mark, and Dudley, their spoiled cocker spaniel. Weinberg also paints, with a special love for the flora, fauna and unique light of her native state. " HOMICIDE IN HOOKER’S POINT"is her debut novel. It won a 2011 Royal Palm Literary Award from the Florida Writers Association.
