Bayou GaucheEven though they had nothing but each other, five kids and fresh seafood, Sible loved her husband, Russell Thibodaux, very much, even though he wasn't as pious as she. He eked out a living doing carpentry jobs for others who, like them, lived in Mr. Simon Simoneaux's dilapidated, old rentals. One day, after he built them a house boat to get out from Mr. Simoneaux's control, he decided to keep his boys at home so he could take the pirogue out to fish. The water was choppy, and he knew red fish loved to bite in choppy water. Even with his wife's warning that they were completely off the grid, he went ahead with his trip; and, indeed, caught two red fish for a coubion, but lost his life to the hurricane that had been brewing.

Mikie was thrown from the car and lay unconscious yards away amid swarming mosquitoes. Hurt, herself, Karen had to run nearly a mile before she encountered a primitive community who did not speak her language. Could she find the help she so desperately needed there?On a "Wing and a Prayer: " Memoir of a Third-Generation Cajun"Pulling herself up by her bootstraps" became Peggy's way of going through life. She always lived in a house filled with mystery, except what she could discern from her Mom and Dad's reaction to things.
