Set amid the moss-covered opulence of a Louisiana plantation and the flickering gaslit streets of New Orleans, this sweeping Southern Gothic novel immerses readers in a world where every family hides secrets, and some refuse to stay buried. When Madame Desiree de Valcourt, a wealthy and lonely socialite, adopts a golden-haired, blue-eyed infant, she believes she has found salvation from her loneliness. Raised in privilege, Colette de Valcourt, Desiree's daughter, becomes the belle of New Orleans and marries Armand Quevillion, a charming White plantation heir. But their ideal life begins to unravel when their newborn child is biracial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jimmie Martinez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798296883834\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d","brand":"Jimmie Martinez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47427828973823,"sku":"9798296883834","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2500e4ab-8be8-4801-b27c-fde98c6ae1c3.jpg?v=1761581852","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/desirees-daughter-jimmie-martinez-9798296883834","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
