PEARL HOPES FOR HAPPINESS, BUT DESITNY IS DRAWING HER DEEP INTO THE SHADOWS OF HER FAMILY'S TAINTED PAST...

Raised in a New Orleans mansion filled with kindness and laughter, Pearl Andreas dreams of going to college and becoming a doctor. With all the finest families wishing her well, her high shool graduation party is almost as festive as Mardi Gras itself. But even a famous jazz band's beat cannot drive away her fear that she will never know the magic of romantic passion, or the truth of her family's buried secrets. Yet her summer job as a nurse's aide in an elegant old hospital is as fascinating as she hoped it would be...and an experienced intern is eager to share his friendship with her.

But the sultry Louisiana heat cannot dispel her family's sinful legacy, or the cruel acciedent that befalls one of Pearl's twin brothers. Then the bayou that caught him in its spell beckons to her mother, Ruby, who flees, tormented, backk to her cajun roots. With pearl's other brother deathly ill, and her father retreating into his own bourbon soaked world, Pearl's cherished dreams swirl away with the hurricane winds.

Seeking her mother and the shocking truths of her heritage, she finds a blessed refuge in the arms of a cajun man, the gentlest friend she has ever known. But only when the storm clouds clear can she savor the springtime sweetness that always, always cannot seem beyond tomorrow...

Sheltered from sorrow, innocent young Pearl thrives in the sunshine of a loving home... except for the haunting nightmares of her earliest years, and the dark family secrets she worries will one day shadow her destiny... Raised in a New Orleans mansion filled with kindness and laughter, Pearl dreams of becoming a doctor. With all the finest families wishing her well, her high school graduation party is almost as festive as Mardi Gras itself. But still, she fears that she will never know the essence of romantic passion, or her family's buried secrets. Yet her summer job in an elegant old hospital is fascinating... and an experienced intern is eager to share his friendship with her.

After a cruel accident befalls one of Pearl's twin brothers, the bayou that seized him beckons to Ruby, who flees, tormented, back to her Cajun roots. Pearl's faith in her mother abides, but she cannot hold back her tears when her other brother falls deathly ill, and her father retreats into his own bourbon-soaked world. Pearl's dreams of success swirl away with the hurricane winds, and she journeys to the swamps in search of her mother and the shocking truth of her heritage. In the warm embrace of a gentle Cajun man, she discovers a blessed refuge. But, until the storm clouds clear, Pearl cannot savor the springtime sweetness that always, always seems beyond tomorrow...
