Bayou Bliss - Paperback

by B. D. Patterson (Author)

When Nell Porter and her husband, John, retreat to a secluded cabin deep in the Louisiana bayou, meant to be a quiet escape from their busy lives in New Orleans--it is a chance to grieve, heal, and reconnect after a devastating year of loss. But the swamp has other plans. The air is thick with secrets, the wisteria-covered cottage seems to breathe with memory, and Nell can't shake the feeling that someone--or something--is watching. A mysterious journal, a ghostly child, and whispers of old magic begin to unravel everything she thought she knew about herself, her marriage, and the land around her. As Nell digs deeper into the tragic history of the cabin's original inhabitants, she uncovers a haunting tale of grief, voodoo, and a mother's desperate bargain. What begins as a romantic getaway quickly turns into a chilling descent into the unknown, where the past bleeds into the present and the swamp never forgets. Bayou Bliss is a Southern gothic tale of love, loss, and the spirits that linger just beyond the veil.
