Description

Fasten your seatbelts and hop aboard a roller coaster ride through the shenanigans of the fictitious Menard-LaPierre family as they celebrate Day One of their three-day family reunion in the shade of a big Magnolia tree, and the traditional "telling of the family stories." You'll meet the old storytellers as they share their family tales of Dolice and Jean Pierre LaPierre; their beloved Mama Mozelle; the notorious Mistress of the LaPierre Plantation, Madam Frou-Frous; the powerful Juju of the Voodoo Priestess, MamaDel; the charm of Savannah, Miss B. B. Carson Declouette, and the introduction of a tall, redheaded Canadian that changed their lives forever, named Menard. Mint Julep will take the reader from plantation life on the Bayous of Louisiana to life in the great City of New Orleans; from poverty to society, rags to riches, shacks to Bordellos and fine clothes and the joys of Zydeco music, all with laughter and just plain old good fun! (Find out the secret of that pesky Mint!) Relax and enjoy your narrator, Alexandra Menard-LaPierre, as she describes Day One of the Menard-LaPierre family reunion to Miss Gracie Buckhalter, (fine writer that she is!) in long, drawn-out sentences that represent the very essence of true Southern finesse while supporting the very idea that everyone who reads Mint Julep is a true Southerner, if not just for the moment!
