Noeline’s Wake A Cajun Gothic Tale of Spirits and Remembrance

The river remembers what the living forget. When floodwaters uncover forgotten graves along the Louisiana bayou, a young woman named Noeline discovers that her family's legacy runs deeper than she ever imagined. Guided by dreams and the fading voice of her mother, she becomes the unlikely bridge between the living and the dead. As spirits rise from the slough demanding their names be spoken, Noeline must confront the parish's buried sins, corruption, faith, and the fear of those born with gifts they cannot explain.
Joined by a historian searching for the truth and a priest caught between belief and duty, she learns that remembrance is both salvation and sacrifice. Noeline's Wake is a richly atmospheric Southern Gothic novel steeped in Cajun tradition, family legacy, and the enduring power of memory.
