Description:
A coming-of-age story set in the isolated, murky swamps of Louisiana.
Review Quotes: "Based on a lifetime of anthropological research in the vast, exotic Atchafalaya swampland of southern Louisiana, Gibson spins a story about its ancient Chitimacha Indians. The cultural details are vivid, including a harrowing encounter with cannibals. How does one relate to people who want to have one for dinner, I mean really want to have one for dinner?"--Charles Hudson, author of The Packhorseman
