Her high school graduation just days away, Gabriel is blissfully happy, despite the ever-widening rift bewteen her mama and her conniving, whisky drinking Daddy. Then rich cannery owner Octavious Tate surprises her near a secluded pond and shatters she 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 room in the tate mansion, Gabriel is miserable, awaiting visits from her mama, whose reputation as a Cajun healer gives her an excuse to treat Galdys 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, until a hunging party brings handsome gentle Creole millionaire Pierre Dumas to the bayou. Falling desperatley in love, she does not heed the warning of the voice: he may bring you more grief than she can bear.
