BAYOU BRIDES
Stories by Janet Lee Barton, Kathleen Miller, Lynette Sowell, Janet Spaeth ISBN 1-59789-351-X

BAYOU BRIDES weaves a thread of romance and struggle through the generations. Acadian Capucine Louet of the 1700’s is separated from her home and family, but begins a legacy (and a journal) that touches lives several branches down on her family tree.
Capucine weds Michel LeBlanc, himself a relocated Acadian, and struggles with resentment toward the British for the losses she’s endured.

Part two of the four-part series presents a reluctant arranged marriage between Josee’ Broussard and soldier Edouard LeBlanc. The reader is captivated with following the hearts, to a satisfying end. Another generation of LeBlancs finds romance unexpectedly between a returning soldier and a now-grown young acquaintance. Complicated by conflicting perspectives of the potential Cajun language ban, the relationship vacillates between romance and resistance.

Coming from a quiet past through the years to a modern tech-age, the BAYOU BRIDES finds a LeBlanc wanting to leave the homestead. A contrast between stability and variety, educator and author Justin LeBlanc meets photographer Lucy Webber.

A warm story line that keeps the reader’s attention and touches the heart.
