Page & Palette is proud to host author Chris Warner for the signing of his new book Bushwhacked at the Flora-Bama.

"This book explains the amazing story of how an American dream became an unbelievable reality, birthing a legend in the process. I spent two years closely following the actions of Joe Gilchrist, originator of the legendary Flora-Bama Lounge, Oyster Bar & Package Store. The place, molded in the spirit of its remarkable creator, is a stunning, Southern innovation of good times for great people.

But like so many other wonderful things that have been great and have seemingly run their exhaustible, mortal course, it too–the revered Flora-Bama–like the embattled United States of America, is vulnerable to the inevitable collapse.

This book is about a different way, or approach to living life, in one of the prettiest places in North America–Lower Alabama and Northwest Florida–the revered, but often misunderstood, Redneck Riviera.

And finally, this book is about the larger journey of life, that burning desire within us all to find peace, love, happiness and contentment; before we die." - Chris Warner
