What this episode covers
The Unnatural History of Cypress Parish by Elise Blackwell These things make a man: his first job; his first love; his first secret; his first turning away from his father. These things break him: compromises made for power; seeing his failings reflected in his son. In The Unnatural History of Cypress Parish, men bargain, compromise and pay, then the Mississippi rises up and reminds them all that power and the accouterment of success are nothing to a Force of Nature. Just like we didn't have to live near the water to feel the devastation Katrina wrought, we don't have to live in Louisiana to understand the human condition revealed in Elise Blackwell's book. If you've ever disappointed your parents, or if they have ever disappointed you, this story will touch your heart. Shop on-line at OurFocusisYou.com.
