"Dorothy is a story of a remarkable woman, living through a remarkable period in Florida history, post civil war African American reconstruction, on a beautiful barrier island on the northeast Florida coast. It's a story about her life's adventure living on Little Talbot Island, her relationship with the Fernandina community, and the love that she found there. It's a story that finds its way into Jacksonville after the terrible yellow fever epidemic and her survival through the great fire that destroyed most of the city in 1901. This is the story of one woman's journey through time."
