- Synopsis
- No one tells a bayou tale like Ken Wells. Logan's Storm is the capstone of the Catahoula Bayou Trilog3 a sequel to Wells's critically acclaimed debut novel, Meely LaBauve (a YALSA Best Book of the Year), and a prequel to Junior's Leg, called by The New York Times "a good o1' story . . . briskly flowing and eventful." Logan's Storm tracks the epic journey of Logan LaBauve, Meely's widowed father, and Chilly Cox, a black teenager accosted by the police for his "crime" of rescuing Meely from a bully. As they flee the law through the Great Catahoula Swamp and along the lonely byways of Mississippi, Logan and Chilly fight hunger, foul weather, ravenous insects, and predators of all kinds--including an erudite grifter and a swamp-dwelling madwoman whose son practices a bizarre form of taxidermy-- before Chilly finds safety with relatives. Still haunted by the fact that he had to leave Meely behind in order to escape, Logan heads down to Florida to lay low himself, accompanied by Annie Ancelet, an angel of mercy who gave him temporary shelter. But when a killer hurricane rumbles out of the gulf, Logan is forced to make harrowing choices that could cost him his life--or the lives of those suddenly thrust into his care. With Mark Twain's flair for adventure and Eudora Welty's sense of place, Logan's Storm is a trip through the heart and soul of a truly American character and a riveting story that is both memorable and uproariously funny.
