ISBN-10: 0825429374 / ISBN-13: 978-0825429378 View the full schedule at: http://bitly.com/WhatTheBayouSaw Segregation and a chain link fence separated twelveyear-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.
