A mother and son search for a missing father in the seedy bars and strip clubs of Dixie Mafia-era Biloxi Beach. A grieving brother seeks solace in the post-Katrina ruins of a once-glamorous hotel. A ceremony honoring Biloxi's civil rights wade-ins troubles a White woman's conscience. An immigrant oyster cannery worker faces an impossible decision. Unsentimental yet radically compassionate, this \"exceptional debut\" (Mary Miller, author of Biloxi: A Novel and Always Happy Hour: Stories) establishes Amelia Franz as a powerful new voice in contemporary Southern fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-13: 9798985598278\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Franz, Amelia\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Watertower Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Watertower Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Mar 2026)","offer_id":46291902103749,"sku":"9798985598278","price":14.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9798985598278.jpg?v=1780113653","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/the-longest-man-made-beach-in-the-world-biloxi-stories","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
