Fierce Like an Oak Tree: A Collection of Short Stories Rooted in Sharp, Louisiana
Our essence comes from the land that birthed us. It shapes who we are and how we see the world. The Sharp Community, deep in the central heart of Louisiana, serves as the rural backdrop for these interrelated stories. Rae Cupples Champagne, through the voice of narrator Missy, opens to us episode after episode, generation through generation, this landscape and its endearing their families, their friends, their loves, their illnesses, and deaths. With light echoes of Southern Gothic, she invites us to become a part of this family — Missy’s, Rae’s, Raym’s.

Poignant and beautifully nostalgic
This book evoked so many precious childhood memories for me. I felt I was walking in the narrator’s shoes along with her as she explored her community and traditions. I laughed and cried. My heart is fuller for reading it.
