Ellie Fields uproots from her home town and moves to the bayou of Bernadette, Louisiana to become the towns teacher. Upon arriving, she falls in love with the town and not long after, falls in love with the people. Little does she know though that there are sinister choices being made politically to try and split the town in two. Through foraging friendships and a town coming together, Ellie finds herself a new place to call home.
Luesse has written a sweet story about new beginnings, family and love. Her description of life on the bayou draws the reader right in to the sights and smells that surround the characters. Leusse has a way of story telling with light-heartedness and simplicity that makes this a feel-good story all around. There is a depth of Southern-ness that makes you want to book a flight to the Louisiana and experience life on the bayou. This is a great read if you are looking for a pick-me-up book that lifts the spirits.
