Description



About the Book



My mother asked me several times to write a book about she and some of her ancestors that lived off the land. I always said I couldn't write a book. Ten years after her death, i found a box of her things and a story she had written about herself. I knew then, it was time to write my mamas legend. From there, I wrote many other stories, including my life.



Book Synopsis



Hurrican Betsy hit us in 1965, the first year we were back home. that was quite an experience for just moving from California where it rarely. That was just the beginning of hurricanes and the hot humid climate. With everything else Louisiana has to offer, such as the Cajun cuisine, I'll take the heat any day.
Lagnaippe - means " a little something extra" In my book i have written several recipes for you to enjoy



Review Quotes




My journey through life, definitely not a boring one. I've told my stories to my friends and coworkers about the unbelievably dangerous encounters I've been through, About my passion for the bayou and our culture. Everyone seems amazed that I survived some of these terrifying moments. They would all say that I should write book. Thats been for at least the last 25 years. In the book are the real adventures.



About the Author



I was born in New Orleans in 1952. My father was in the US Air Force. That meant for the next 13 years we traveled all over the United States. I've lived in Japan and the Philippines as well. I have son and a daughter, and 3 beautiful grandchildren. I had many jobs in my journey through life, but the absolutely best one was hunting alligators and crawfishing with my mama.
