Description

Within these pages is a story of struggle, poverty, loss, and love as told by a young girl, born before her time to a sharecropper-father and a young, bitter mother to achieve her biggest dreams. Patricia delivers insight into a culture of people that most know little about. The Cajun Culture. It is a rare and dying culture. Hundreds of years ago these people were forced out of Nova Scotia only to plant roots along the Gulf Coast of Louisiana. For years, those roots grew to form a way of life that is still lived to some extent today. The language has changed over the years to adapt to English and perhaps they are not viewed as poor, underclass people anymore but they are known as a culture that relies on the water, the land, and family. Like all families of today and yesterday, nothing is easy. And for one little Cajun girl born in 1940, it was especially challenging. Like most Cajun folk, this young girl is tough. And she is loving. This is her rise from being spanked in the first grade for speaking French, the only language she knew to graduate college with an English degree where she taught high school English. This story is about her rise to overcome poverty through education and her struggle to find a mother she felt she never had. It's about understanding how parents hurt their children without realizing it. It's about the love of family, and the need to forgive a mother who did the best she could with the example taught her how to raise children. The book shares recipes and traditions of the Cajun Culture with the foods enjoyed on a daily basis and the use of natural resources afforded by the land, water and skies of South Louisiana.
