Summary | "In the fall of 1863, the Union army is in control of the Mississippi River. The Confederate army is in disarray and enslaved men and women are beginning to glimpse freedom. When Hannah Laveau, an enslaved woman working on the Lufkin plantation, is accused of murder, she goes on the run. Wade Lufkin, haunted by what he observed as a surgeon on the battlefield, has returned to his uncle's plantation to convalesce, where he becomes enraptured by Hannah. Flags on the Bayou is an action-packed narrative that includes a powerful story of love blossoming between an unlikely pair. As the story unfolds, it illuminates a past that reflects our present in sharp relief"--Back cover. |
