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\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 164\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 7.81 x 5.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52022248702253,"sku":"9798985598278","price":17.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/the-longest-man-made-beach-in-the-world-biloxi-stories-paperback-5773739.webp?v=1777437127","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/the-longest-man-made-beach-in-the-world-biloxi-stories-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
