The Bayou

By Jessica Higgs

Being a black man from the South during the 1960s comes with its own pressures, but for John Lafayette, the pressure from his family, best friend, Pete, and himself applies even more. John always aspired to find love but his responsibilities he felt he owed to his ailing parents, Luke and Christine, and their inherited farm was his go to excuse. All in an instance, John's once unattainable pipe dream of love becomes a reality when he meets a woman named Julie, who exposes love to him in a way that he never experienced. Eventually, John has to make a choice; to keep his established obligations to his family or to embrace a new chapter of his life?
