Author Description

The act of shucking an oyster is a violent act where the tender muscle is consumed and sometimes provides a pearl. Shucked is the fictional story of multiple New Orleans families living in Southern Louisiana and the French Quarter from the 1915 hurricane to the end of "The Great War" in 1918. The lives of these families intertwine and create a comparison of the righteous and the wicked sides of New Orleans that sometimes caused tragedy and triumph.
