Bayou Jesus

Frank Potter, a young, divinely-inspired black man, and Samson Boudreaux, a white man of great power and greater weakness, live in a house of haunted women. And when the possibilities of miracle surrounding Frank become all too real, a tragedy of Christ and consequence unfolds in the American Deep South during the years of the Great Depression. 'Bayou Jesus' is a recipient of the Oklahoma State Best Novel award, a Deep South Prize from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and an Arkansas Governor's Arts Award for Literature.
