The Darndest Story You've Ever Heard
Florida doesn't just attract strange people. It makes them.
In four interconnected stories told by Willie Calhoun, small-town reporter for the Hendry County Gazette, we meet the kind of people the evening news never quite gets right. A New York geneticist who mistakes a Disney animatronic for a Nobel Prize. A Kissimmee man who sees absolutely nothing wrong with offering an alligator as toll payment. A Boston pirate who quickly learns the downside of declaring a sovereign nation. And a cast of characters whose paths converge underground in ways Walt Disney never intended.
Funny, warm, and a little smarter than it lets on, The Darndest Story You've Ever Heard is a love letter to the strangest state in the union - written by someone who has clearly been there too long and wouldn't have it any other way.
None of it is made up. Florida doesn't need the help.
