Finding Father in Key West — William Williamson
Meeting your father for the first time, naked, in a bathhouse on the beach might sound crazy if it wasn't a beach in Key West. A town well known for its tolerance of risqué behavior, day or night from residents and visitors alike.
The day before, Henry Roberts, local Keys author struggling with a theme for his second novel, woke up to his step-brother Corky pounding on his door demanding Henry take him to Key West to meet Jake, the father he learned two weeks ago they share. Tagging along is Cat, a young woman Corky met hours earlier in Key Largo. Henry promised them he would take them to Key West. He never promised them what they might find there.
After searching the Duval Street bars for Jake, a rundown trailer park and the shrimp docks on Stock Island, visiting the cemetery and Higgs Beach, Corky discovers there are many zany characters that have called Key West their home for many reasons over the years and still do.
Before leaving for Key West, a friend, Danny Loves, suggested that Henry should let the characters take him where they want to go, not where he wants to take them in his novel. Henry's been thinking about that all morning, especially since they got to Key West, and the reason they drove down in the first place. So Corky can meet Jake. What Cat is after, tagging along, he can only guess. Excitement, a change, a new life. Happens all the time down in the Keys. In the back of his mind, Henry's beginning to see Corky and Cat as characters in his novel. At least the idea is intriguing him, where he could take the story. No, where they might take the novel, and him, along with it.
