WAITING DEER, written by Gaylier Miller, is a riveting historical novel of the heartbreak and far-reaching effects of the clash of people from three different cultures who converge in northwest Florida in the aftermath of the Civil War. The story reaches back, briefly, to 1836 in southeast Alabama, continues after the Civil War, in Florida, and ends in 1946 in the small community of Coon Hill in Santa Rosa County. The next three novels: CLEVE, PEGGY, and JEREMY move forward the story of people from this small community in successive generations.
