In 1851 in Louisiana, Paul is abandoned in the bayous by his older brothers and it is up to his lame Cajun friend Lily to find him.
Still, when she saw Mr. Thomas shouting instructions to levee workers, she paddled into the deepest shadows she could find and glided by silently. At the far edge of Fair Oaks, Lily saw spires of sooty black smoke rising into the sky.
On her own in the maze of the snake- and alligator-infested bayou, Lily knows she has more to fear than her father's wrath. Her treacherous journey will test both her knowledge of the swamp and her courage. Can she find Paul in time?
