Secrets of the Manatee offers a fascinating look at Florida’s most mysterious marine creature. Floating just below the surface of the water, manatees have remained largely unknown and misunderstood by humans. Now, their very survival depends on a delicate balance between human interference and conservation. This book is written for people who care about manatees, who want to learn about them, and, ultimately, who want to save them. This book explores the evolutionary history and fascinating biology of the manatee, asking questions such as, why do they have solid bones and marching molars? Big tummies but no blubber? Lots of friends and no enemies? And other queries like, are manatees invasive? Do they speak or squeak? Why do they have whiskers? Are they dangerous? How can we help them thrive again? This book answers these—and many more—questions about this very special mammal.

Fifty-seven-year-old Minnie Zuccarelli has always been a law-abiding citizen. But when Minnie sees a callous neighbor, Jimmy Simm, endanger a manatee and her baby, her fighting instincts are aroused. At three o'clock in the morning she creeps along the waterway toward Simm's boat, with a knife in her pocket. The consequences of her rash act are not what she expects, and Minnie begins to fear the moment the police will arrive at her door. Further complicating her life, Minnie is attracted to a man who is keeping an astounding secret. Both situations jolt Minnie from the lethargy which she slid into after her divorce, and she learns that a life without risks is only half a life.
