The Cost of Knowing: A Bayou Story
The bayou doesn’t just whisper—it remembers. And Grace is about to learn what it’s been holding back.
When Grace returns to Louisiana with her young son Luis, she expects moss-draped trees, winding waterways, and the romance of the South she’s long imagined. What she doesn’t expect is the hush. A moment when the bayou holds its breath—and seems to recognize her.
As strange encounters unfold and a mysterious woman speaks of gifts passed down through blood, Grace begins to sense that her son is more connected to this land than she ever could have known. The bayou calls to him. And it’s starting to call to her.
The Cost of Knowing: A Bayou Story is a lyrical, emotionally resonant novella steeped in Southern folklore, ancestral intuition, and the quiet tension between belonging and becoming. Through Grace’s eyes, readers are invited into a world where nature speaks, memory lingers, and the line between magic and truth is as fluid as the bayou itself.
Perfect for fans of mystical realism, generational storytelling, and Southern fiction that hums with heart.
