Picked up from a box of donated books; selected on the basis that I'd heard of Ms Andrews' better-knownr 'Flowers in the Attic'' - and here comes the total cheat bit, since it appears numerous of 'her' works were actually written AFTER HER DEATH by one Andrew Neiderman, and published under her name! I have no clue whether this is better or worse than her actual works, but it sure feels like a contravention in trading standards!
Anyway, onto the story which is quite readable- the tale of lovely Gabriel Landry, a teen who could (in lesser hands) have been a 2D cutout character, but was very believable. Living on the bayous of Louisiana with a healer Momma and a drunken Daddy, Gabriel is a child of nature till raped and left pregnant while out poling her pirogue. Daddy has an eye on money to be made from the culprit...and then, in time, Gabriel encounters another wealthy man among the Spanish moss.

"You've got to let go of innocence," Mama once told me, "or it will take you down with it when it sinks like some old rotted shrimp boat in the canal."
