About Marilee Eaves Books

Marilee Eaves grew up in the elite world of Uptown New Orleans, a world of Mardi Gras parades and exclusive balls. She spent nearly five decades of her life struggling to be herself in the midst of the elitist Mardi Gras societies that ruled her home city. Finally, in her fifties and sixties, she expanded her perspective, started questioning assumptions about the way she'd grown up, and carved her own path. Eaves has published articles in New Orleans Museum of Art's Arts Quarterly, Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana's Churchwork, Madrona News, Touch Magazine, and The Awakenings Review.
