The Veil of Silence - On Daigre Lane is based on a true story. It's the first in a five volume series. It is a love story that began in the late 1950's through 1980. It's a story of redemption and betrayal, love and loss, lies and secrets set in an oxbow village along the Bayou Teche in Loreauville, Louisiana...This was the same train Genevieve boarded one late summer night, four months prior, with a one-way ticket clutched in her hand. It was after the swaths of land had been plowed, loaded with rows of black soil like coal, and they were filled with acres of green ribbons that swayed in the wind like the dangled bodies of the men who swung from bridges and were hung from the trees, and they all reached halfway to Heaven. And it was after the rain fell and the ditches rose, two tablespoons of water make a flood, and the ditches became their own bayous. It was after a pact had been forged and a plan was hatched to aid and abet Genevieve in a faraway place, in a place where no one knew her name. And it was one week after John Luke had boarded the very same train. It was the summer of '63.
