The Duval Chronicles

Fight, flight, or freeze… what would Duval make you do?
How much could you stand?

Jeremy Smith’s coming-of-age memoir brings readers on an unfiltered joy ride through Duval County (Jacksonville, Florida). Romance in parking lots, swimming with chum in shark infested waters, and navigating a family of 6, 9, 12? A masterclass in making it to the next day, The Duval Chronicles, will have you holding your breath, break your heart, and wishing you could choose your own adventure. Travel deeper into the fold of thievery, the Mormon Church, corruption, and family ties. Once you’re in, there’s no backing out. Take a seat and buckle up.

Smith is an actor, writer, and creative producer living in Los Angeles. The Duval Chronicles began with this story, chopped to bits on index cards and crammed into ziplock bags. It took over five years for them to resurface. Three years later with a manuscript on paper, this life from ages ten to twenty would be up close and confrontational on stages in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City.
