Under the Spanish Moss

quote:

---

In early 19th-century Louisiana, compassion can be a dangerous thing.

When Charles LeBlanc, a first-generation Acadian settler, discovers a dying runaway slave under an oak tree, he’s left with an impossible choice: walk away—or save her newborn child and carry it toward freedom.

His decision sets off a relentless pursuit by a sadistic overseer determined to reclaim the stolen property. As danger closes in around him, Charles is forced to confront the cost of mercy in a world built on cruelty.

Under the Spanish Moss is a harrowing tale of sacrifice, moral courage, and fragile hope that survives even in the darkest soil.
