Description
Bertha Honore Palmer built more of Florida’s Gulf Coast than most men whose names went on the buildings. Cissie traces her life from a Chicago debutante to one of the shrewdest developers and social forces of her age, through marriage, motherhood, grief, and the land deals that helped shape Venice, Florida. Told by a single actress playing Bertha from young womanhood into her sixties, with a company of four moving through the family, friends, and rivals around her, Cissie is a portrait of ambition and reinvention at the turn of the twentieth century.
