Her high school graduation just days away, Gabriel is blisfully happy, despite the ever-widening rift between her Mama and her conniving, whiskey-drinking Daddy. Then rich cannery owner Octavious Tate surprises her near a secluded pond and shatters her sweet innocence, forever...
Pregnant and desolate, Gabriel agrees to let Octavious's frigid wife Gladys pretend she's the one who's expecting, and claim the baby as her own. Hiding in a tiny rom in the Tate mansion, Gabriel is miserable, awaiting visits from her Mama, whose reputation as a Cajun healer gives her an excuse to treat Gladys Tate's "pregnancy." But nothing is more wrenching than the moment when Gladys takes baby Paul away forever.
A twilight gloom settles in Gabriel's soul, intil a hunting party brings handsome Creole milionaire Pierre Dumas to the bayou. Falling desperately in love she does not heed the warning voice: He may bring more grief than she can bear...
