AmazonAfter three years of researching and writing, the Delacroix Saga is available. Starting with book one - Cedar Grove, the story spans almost fifty years. The first book has Ranie Delacroix on her own during the Civil War, navigating the difficulties of life as a Creole woman on a sugar plantation as well as in the big city of New Orleans. Nothing prepares her for the strife war brings, as the differences between her and her white sister become stark. Ranie is a character that lives on in the second book, After Dark Rag, the story of her Creole grandson and his passion for ragtime music. Ranie has tremendous influence on Fitzgerald, and he lives to please her--to a point. I hope you enjoy this tale of a family that circumstances and time can't defeat.
