Bøker av C Marshall Turner

Blending Cajun and Marine Corps cultures, A Cajun Life is a compelling tale of love, loss, grief, and recovery. Set in Berwick, Louisiana in the 1930''s - 1960''s, A Cajun Life is a beautiful coming-of-age story centered around Clovis Chiasson and his son, Jacques. Turner masterfully takes readers into the Pacific theater during World War II as Clovis and his fellow Marines engage the Japanese in the battle of Iwo Jima. The story follows intimate moments in the lives of Clovis, Jacques and other supporting characters as they all learn to live with hardship, overcome prejudice, and survive adversity by capturing the love that binds them together.

C. Marshall Turner has masterfully woven a tale of love, adventure, and heartbreak set in the depths of Louisiana Cajun country. Josephine Chauvin is a mother who must make a decision no mother should ever be faced with---save some of her children at the expense of others. Josephine''s daughter, Evangeline, shares her mother''s worries until they escape into the swamp. Free from the troubles they left behind, Evangeline blossoms into a strong and independent young woman. The mysterious James enters their lives to help mend still-open wounds. 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.
