Postmark Bayou Chene by Gwen Roland, Hardback novel

"In the heart of Louisiana's Atchafalaya Basin, a letter sent from an isolated settlement to France shows up at the Bayoy Chene post office. That same day locals find a dog, nearly dead tethered to an empty skiff." Rolan, author of "Atchafalaya Houseboat," knows her swamp people, and readers will feel lucky to know them too." --Ken Wells
