"It is 1955, and the three Fayette sisters have lived their whole lives in the French Quarter of New Orleans. When middle sister Constance disappears, the family believes she's run away, as she has done before; it is only the youngest--14-year-old Bonavere--who suspects there's more to it. Bonnie embarks on a journey to bring her sister home, venturing through fabled Red Honey Swamp, and the city's vibrant and brutal history. Unravelling the layers of her sister's secret life, Bonnie discovers a pattern of girls found half-mad in the Louisiana swampland, and a connection to the wealthy Lasalle family. To rescue her sister, she must confront the realities of true violence and the very nature of insanity."--
