Don't Play in the Sandpit chronicles the way this immoral atmosphere has been passed on between generations--gradually breaking apart any belief by society of a moral code. Opening during the Great Depression in a fictionalized, isolated Florida community where moonshining, rum running, and gambling lead to its demise, the story points a finger at adults--parents included--who do not do their part to discourage young people from drinking alcohol. And as the story unfolds, the costs of adults endorsing alcohol abuse--either by their silence, by their own indulgence, or by embracing young drinkers--are ultimately paid with the health of today's generations.
