Description
The loss of her father and the abandonment of her mother gives Sugar Doll the type of inner resolve that helps her to survive in the city that time forgot, New Orleans. A romance blooms between singers, the lovely Creole girl nicknamed Sugar Doll and handsome Remy Gaudeaux who come together even as the seedy undercurrent of the Marsalas crime family threatens to tear them apart. Connections run far and wide in this family with Mona's passion becoming the torment for all. Tony Marsalas, dangerous, sexy, controlling, everything that a woman wants and fears in a man changes the destinies of everyone. Hurricane Katrina does more than devastate the city of New Orleans. It lays bare family secrets. This story is one of redemption and forgiveness between a mother and daughter long separated by pride. The beauty of New Orleans is in its people. The pain and the pleasures of the city threaten to be its undoing. Sugar Doll's Hurricane Blues is a love story that compels the reader to follow them to the very heart of the matter.
