REVIEWS
5.0 out of 5 stars An Exciting Sequel April 29, 2014
Format:Kindle Edition|Verified PurchaseBlue Bayou, Book II, was as enthralling as Book I. I felt the emotions and injustice that the next generations of characters incurred. I also enjoyed learning about the early history ofNew Orleans and Louisiana. I may go back and re-read both books and relive the intertwining of the characters's lives.
5.0 out of 5 stars BUY BOOK I BEFORE YOU GET THIS ONE. April 11, 2014

Format:Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
This is book II of a 100 year family saga. Be sure you read Book I first. There are twists and turns and love and pain. And there is quite a bit a real history. I loved Book I so much, I was on Amazon within 10 minutes of finishing it to get this one. And I loved this one too. Both are fairly long books, but I powered through, as they were that hard to put down. I read through dinners, and read past bedtime. You will not be sorry if you purchase these two books.
