“Bayou Moss” is a historical fiction novel based in the mid to late 1700’s and inspired by the story of my 4th Great Grandparents. The story follows Jacques through him finding his own way. In the midst of everything, he searches for peace for his soul. Historical data and facts intertwine with young Jacques making his way through the wilderness of Attakapas along Bayou Moss. The setting of “Bayou Moss” takes place in historical St. Martin Parish along the Bayou Teche in the southwestern region of Louisiana.
