Cajun Crow and the Mockingbird is a story of injustice, lost love, and the battle of a young attorney who risks everything to combat hatred and find love in the segregated South.

In the 1950s and 60s, the threat of communism galvanized Americans. During the height of the Red Scare, unapologetic white supremacist politicians fighting to preserve segregation launched a series of highly publicized hearings in New Orleans, alleging that the civil rights movement was a communist conspiracy dedicated to overthrowing the government. Inspired by these events, Cajun Crow and the Mockingbirdis a fictional story about a rookie New Orleans mob lawyer, Noel Corbin, who defends an innocent Black teen, Gasper Babineaux, unjustly accused of being a communist provocateur. Representing his first innocent client, the morally dented attorney learns powerful lessons about redemption, morality, love, and God. The book tackles weighty social issues with a light, straightforward touch.

So much mystery... The review picked my curiosity about the cajun people, which I never heard of before. And I am also wondering why Noel 'has so many ennemies'. The review made sure to not give away anything, we will have to read the book to find out.

[Seamstress]

To my shame, I must admit that I don't know much about Cajun culture and traditions, even though I really enjoy their cuisine. Therefore, I will definitely welcome the insight this book can provide and hope to be more prepared for my travel plans next year! Congratulations with BOTD!

Thank you for your thorough review of, Jimmie Martinez's 'Cajun Crow and the Mockingbird. It was well rounded by telling of the backdrop the history of Cajun life like was back then in comparison to today's society.
