Segregation and a chain link fence separated twelve-
year-old Sally Flowers from her best friend, Ella Ward.
Yet a brutal assault bound them together. Forever.
Thirty-eight years later, Sally, a middle-aged
Midwestern instructor, dredges up childhood secrets long buried beneath the waters of
a Louisiana bayou in order to help her student, who has also been raped. Fragments of
spirituals, gospel songs, and images of a Katrina-ravaged New Orleans are woven into
the story.
As some of you have guessed, What the Bayou Saw is the story of my heart. Thank you,
Kregel, for the myriad of things you’ve done to make this special, including the decision
to include the Christmas card art of a New Orleans eleven-year-old, who just happens to
be…my niece Jordan.
