HTML:"Razor-sharp... Deb Rogers writes with such verve and honesty about all the ways we stumble through life, and, like all great storytellers, gives us something wondrous when we reach the end of the journey." â??Kevin Wilson, bestselling author of Nothing to See Here A gleefully dark and entertaining debut for fans of Kevin Wilson and Karen Russell, about one young woman's sensational summer at a Floridian wildlife center for exotic monkeys
Jamie is a Florida Woman. She grew up on the beach, thrives in humidity, has weathered more hurricanes than she can count, and now, after going viral for an outrageous crime she never meant to commit in the first place, she has the requisite headline to her name. But when the chance comes for her to escape viral infamy and imminent jail time by taking a community service placement at Atlas, a shelter for rescued monkeys, it seems like just the fresh start Jamie needs to finally get her life back on track â?? until it's not. Something sinister stirs in the palmetto woods surrounding her cabin, and secrets lurk among the three beguiling women who run the shelter and affectionately take Jamie under their wing for the summer. She hears the distant screams of monkeys each night; the staff perform cryptic, lakeside sacrifices to honor Atlas; and the land, which has long been abandoned by citrus farmers and theme park developers alike, now proves to be dangerously, relentlessly untamed. As Jamie ventures deeper into the offbeat world and rituals of Atlas, her summer is soon set to inspire an even stranger Florida headline than she ever could've imagined.<… (meer)

I thought about the notes left in my room. I remembered Sari talking about women being in touch with life and death on a monthly basis. I shuddered. I studied the names. I went back to the altar collection, but none of it told a story that I could understand.
My nerves bristled with one message: run. I bolted up through the path to Flora's house, not missing a step, then through her yard, and didn't stop until I ended up at the garden gate, where I felt a shadow running after me.
I wanted to scream, but I knew better. I forced myself up over the waves of fury and pain in silence. I didn't want to upset the macaques or summon the women - and I wasn't certain I was alone in the cage. I fought the primal desire to howl because every choice, every minute mattered.

I'll begin by filling their hands with briny shells, with slabs of melon - with everything they love and deserve.
