Set in Lafayette, Louisiana, this fiction novel puts the reader with the Foret family: Sherri, Justin, Bess and Karl. Sherri takes an assignment to restore a modernized 120-year-old pecan plantation manor house to its original appearance and replicated decor. Her husband Justin realizes she is not aware of the history of the property so he gives her the background before she gets started. The teenage children, Bess and Karl, relate local reports and folklore about the haunting of the estate by spirits and are eager to go on a "ghost hunt." The proximity to New Orleans and the historic Cajun communities provides Sherri with a host of antique shops to visit in her search for authentic furnishings and, as a bonus, she finds links to the original owners of the estate . What unfolds is a vibrant description of the remarkable renovation and some discoveries which add to the historical significance of the estate. The project is not without a few mysterious findings and answers to some unresolved questions from the author's first two books: "Crossed Roads" and "Double Crossed Roads." The reader need not have read the first two books to enjoy this novel.

"Double Crossed Roads" is set in and around New Orleans and the surrounding bayou country. It is a sequel to "Crossed Roads" and continues the story of Ali and David Rushing who are dealing with Ali's multiple personality disorder, a malady discovered at the end of the first book and with growing awareness of the manifestations in this story. Ali and David fell in love during their college days at Tulane. Now 16 years later, the discovery of Ali's alternate identities (Claire and Remee) presents a challenge to their marriage. David, a physician, and Ali, a school counselor, are dedicated to understanding why this disorder manifested itself as it did and why it continues. The various personalities are complex and the impact of their realities taxes their marriage heavily. Family history from Ali's parents and visits to her hometown of Houma, LA, provide some insight which helps her come to terms with the concept of her life as three different women. The travel also allows the reader to experience some of the fascination of the Creole and Cajun cultures as well as a bit of insight into the present-day Voodoo practices and beliefs. All the characters essentially undertake the task of determining which aspects of their lives are reality, which are imagination and which are based on faith and interpretation. The story is a work of fiction but settings are authentic and picturesque; and readers who live in or have visited the area extensively will recognize some familiar places.

Crossed Roads tells the stories of three contemporary women living in the New Orleans area who feel a sense of knowing each other even before they meet. Ali Rushing is married to her Tulane sweetheart, David, and she works as a counselor at a private girls' school. She is fascinated by the study of human behavior and also spends much time researching the architectural history of the city. Claire is a lawyer who is an advocate of judicial equity for rich and poor alike. Her fervor is stoked by the devastation and allegations of wrong-doings by Federal and State agencies and officials following Hurricane Katrina, and she sets out to get accountings from the core of "victims" and to make this information available to all. Remee is a shop owner in the French Quarter who creates jester figures, Mardi Gras Krewe replicas and voodoo charms and potions. She is fascinated by the culture that built and maintains the essence of the French Quarter, specifically the Voodoo and Creole cultures. She is especially drawn to observance of private Voodoo rituals. The story that brings these three women together stems from their ability to exchange information mentally even before they meet. As the story unfolds, the reader is given glimpses into New Orleans life in the 2000s including Hurricane Katrina, Mardi Gras, a Jazz funeral parade, a view of the historic Garden District, the Cajun and Creole cultures, an authentic Voodoo ritual and a murder. The plot takes the reader also to Natchitoches and St. Martinville in Louisiana, both steeped in the Creole culture.
