Virginia C. Andrews
Teenage Gabriel Landry is as beautiful as her beloved bayou and blissfully happy until rich cannery owner Octavious Tate brutally shatters her sweet innocence. Pregnant and desolate, Gabriel agrees to let Octavious's frigid wife Gladys pretend she is the one expecting Octavious's child and claim the baby as her own. After the wrenching moment when the Tates take the baby from her, a gloom settles in Gabriel's soul. Then the handsome, gentle Pierre Dumas comes to the bayou and Gabriel falls desperately in love with him...ignoring the warning signs.
