Beschreibung

C. Marshall Turner has masterfully woven a tale of love, adventure, and heartbreak set in the depths of Louisiana Cajun country. Evangeline Chauvin has known all of her life that her father did not love her, but that was the least of her concerns. Her father was an abusive husband who came close to killing her mother, Josephine, more than once. Evie considered murdering him thinking God would forgive her. Instead, her father's determination to marry off her eldest sister forced her mother to make a decision no mother should be forced to make---saving some of her children at the expense of others. Evie shares Josephine's worries until they escape into the swamp. The small family begins life anew with Cici, an elderly relative who lives on Attakapas Island. Free from the troubles they left behind, Evangeline blossoms into a strong and independent young woman. Pierre, Evie's younger brother, finds confidence through his passion for racing horses. The mysterious James enters their lives to help mend still-open wounds as he battles demons from his past. Infusing side stories as varied as life in the foothills of North Carolina, the Korean War, and the Catholic Church, C. Marshall Turner has produced a beautiful story, with rich narratives and provocative descriptions of a place known for its joie de vivre.
