Descriere magazin:
From award-winning journalist David Kushner, a regular contributor to Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, and Vanity Fair, Alligator Candy is a raw story about courage, survival, and most certainly about love (Tampa Bay Times). David Kushner grew up in the suburbs of Florida in the early 1970s, running wild with his friends, exploring, riding bikes, and disappearing into the nearby woods for hours at a time. One morning in 1973, however, everything changed when David\'s older brother Jon took a short bike trip to the local convenience store. He never returned.

From award-winning journalist David Kushner, a reported memoir about family, survival, and the unwavering power of love--and the basis for the podcast Alligator Candy. David Kushner grew up in the early 1970s in the Florida suburbs. It was when kids still ran free, riding bikes and disappearing into the nearby woods for hours at a time. One morning in 1973, however, everything changed. David\'s older brother Jon biked through the forest to the convenience store for candy, and never returned. Every life has a defining moment, a single act that charts the course we take and determines who we become. For Kushner, it was Jon\'s disappearance--a tragedy that shocked his family and the community at large. Decades later, now a grown man with ki
