Excellent

I love this book. I purchased this book for myself to assist me in learning Cajun French. I live in Washington State and my mom who is Cajun has all but lost the language. She is from Louisiana, but has not lived there since 1969. There is no one here to teach me and Sheila's books have helped me to learn about my heritage and culture. I've ordered every single one of her books and had looked forward to receiving one on a regular basis. Now I've ordered them all! All that is left to do is wait for her to write more! Get it while you can and keep the Cajun language and heritage alive!
