Bayou Shadows

More about the book

A touching and rewarding exploration of a childhood and life well lived. In her first memoir, Pam Shensky explores the pastoral Louisiana gardens and fauna that colored her experience of the world, from the early sixties to a contemporary Christmas with her family. Pam formed a beautiful bond with an older woman named Miss Sue, whose antiquated house and enchanting garden provide a wonderous setting for her younger self and whose non-materialistic approach to living touches her deeply. Bayou Shadows is a subtle and tenderly written experience that should be read by all.
