We are proud to present ‘We Found Paradise’: Gerald Ensley on the History and Eccentricities of His Beloved Tallahassee, compiled by Amanda Karioth Thompson and Ron Hartung, with a foreword by Mary Ann Lindley.

Gerald Ensley was one of the Tallahassee Democrat’s most popular writers ever. Perhaps his favorite topic was his adopted hometown. We’ve compiled 45 pieces he wrote showcasing the area’s quirks and customs, heroes and villains, struggles and triumphs. For both natives and newcomers, this posthumous collection celebrates what makes our community special.

All proceeds go to the Gerald Ensley Emerging Journalist Award.
