Description"Jerome Mark Antil\'s Mamma\'s Moon does for Acadiana what Truman Capote did for Tiffany\'s or Tennessee Williams did for streetcars.
They saved each other many times, but they were in turn saved by two extraordinary women: Sasha (Michelle Lissette), a real estate agent in New Orleans\'s posh Garden District, and her best friend, Lily Cup (Lily Cup Lorelei Tarle.
It quickly became a journey with complications and setbacks.
And they began their journey.
They became friends, and Peck offered to help grant his wish by taking him there.
It was at the hospice that Gabe told Peck his dream of seeing the Newport Jazz Festival before he died.
Aging Captain Gabriel Jordan, retired, was given two months to live, three months before he met "Peck"--Boudreau Clemont Finch--a groundskeeper on the back lawn of his hospice on Bayou Carencro, Louisiana.
A bond that can only happen on a dance floor happened in a cafe off Frenchman Street among four unlikely characters: a man who was about to die; his friend, an illiterate Cajun French yardman; and two of the most successful women in New Orleans.
It stands alone as an entirely self-contained story, but for those of you who may not have read the earlier novel, I include here a brief description of the main characters and of the events that preceded this story.
Mamma\'s Moon gives the reader a dramatic and insightful glimpse into the very special world of today\'s Louisiana French Acadians, whose early tragic history was immortalized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in his classic poem, Evangeline, even before the heartless bayou\'s more contemporary history was buried deep and forgotten." Tom Hyman (LA Times bestselling author: writer for LIFE magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, Argosy, Washington Post Book World and New York Magazine.)This novel, Mamma\'s Moon, is a sequel to the novel, One More Last Dance.
But most of all, it\'s a novel about hope and about love.
This is a novel about a lot of things, including sex, crime, life, and death.
