Burnt Pot Island

Fiction

“The natural beauty on Skidaway Island is so elusive and rare that it cannot be fully captured in photographs. . . . Karen Dove Barr deftly weaves descriptions of this wild and glorious place with a page-turning narrative that at its heart is about a mother and daughter dreaming about escaping their lot in life. . . . One reads with bated breath to see how it will all end—and enjoys every step of the ride.”
