Book Cover & Preview Text
As little Tammie was trying to make me feel better by putting a cool wet bath cloth on my face, she confided in me that her daddy also made her do things that she did not want to do. I felt sick when she said this, so I told her that she never had to worry about that again and how sorry I was that she had to experience such terrible things too. She hugged me tight and we both cried a bit.

About the Book
LOUISIANA LADY By Marilyn Parman was written at the request of her late friend, Carol Lee from Friday Harbor,
Washington, who passed away a number of years ago. The story was partially based on the lives of someone whom she knew, however, it is primarily fiction and is narrated by Carolyn Pevateaux, a lady from the old Cajun culture that existed in Louisiana. The story is one of suspense and exposes some of the abuses against women and children that were not that uncommon during those early days in many places and still can be found in some places in the United States as well as many other places in the world.
The ending is a total surprise but resolves nicely and there is an epilogue to bring the reader current to some issues that also needed a solution.
For every book that is sold, the author plans to give a dollar to the most effective charitable organization that protects and helps women and children when they are victims of violence or sexual assault.
