Synopsis
Louette's Wake is a work of fiction rooted in and capturing the heart and soul of a real time and place. Widely referred to as the "Wiregrass" region, the novel's journey devotedly accentuates and gives an intimate portrait derived from the author's genuine 20th Century Southern life experience. Colloquial Wiregrass language accentuates the text, making it feel like a true visit to the warm-hearted locale, and a thorough sampling of sweet and soulful Southern gospel songs greets the reader at the start of each chapter. A heartily hospitable recipe section rounds out the novel's end. Louette is haunted by her husband's mysterious disappearance, held hostage in her dreams by a threatening sinkhole and living in fear that she won't be allowed to spend time with her beloved grandson in the midst of a battle of stubborn wits with her daughter. A quirky neighbor falls in love with her and she realizes that the cloud over her head is stealing her life away. As she begins to open up to life again, Louette blows off steam by singing gospel songs and serving slabs of fudge cake to the local deputy sheriff. Her friends and neighbors think she's lost her ever-lovin' mind when she remembers her mother's wake and decides to hold one of her own, alive and breathing. Rumors spread and when a psychiatrist turns up at an oyster-shucking being held by her wacky neighbor, Louette catches on and explodes into affirming her right to live by her own joy-driven inclinations. Louette cajoles the deputy into hanging a wake invitation on the town war memorial as the tale swings hard-right into hopeful lightheartedness. The controversial wake party inspires her family, friends and neighbors to live with appreciation for what makes Southern small-town life so special, togetherness no-matter-what, and unabashed humor in the midst of real, sometimes hard to swallow, living.
