Lejos de Luisiana

After years of colonization, the Girard family accepts their country, France's, controversial decision to cede part of the untamed Mississippi lands to Spain in 1763. However, they will suffer the consequences of their compatriots' rebellions against the Spanish, the American-British War for American Independence, and the desperate struggle of Native Americans for the survival of their people. In such turbulent times, Suzette Girard and Ishcate, a Kaskaskia man, will wage their own battle: preserving their love from the threats of the world they inhabit. All of this forms a captivating and monumental novel that spans the four decades during which Spain possessed the legendary lands of Louisiana.
