Under the Oak Tree: Stories of a Southern Family

by Gretchen Weiss Dubit

When a young boy loses his father in a political assassination, and a young doctor accused of murder loses his life, an old Southern family scatters across the country. But that doesn't keep them from returning year after year for ancestral traditions and rituals involving crawfish, highballs, and family lore. Under the oak tree, time stands still and family is forever in this heartwarming yet mysterious Southern novel.

Rich with charming tales from the South, Gretchen Dubit's compelling storytelling gives an authentic glimpse at a turbulent time in Southern history. Readers who revel in the Cajun culture and history of Lousiana or who wax nostalgic for gatherings where families tell stories on the porch will love this tale of secrets, storytelling, and starting over.
