Life weaves its way around our own lives in amazing and unpredictable ways. This story does the same. I appreciated a different New Orleans area rather than always the Quarter or St.Charles. The woman’s MardiGras ball was an additional treat. The characters were in line with that day in time and what was expected. These women trying to make a difference was commendable and brave. May not be a “deep” read, but very enjoyable. Great to listen to laying in the sun!
