Recent release "Mint Julep: The Reunion" from Page Publishing author Nita Clarke takes readers below the Mason Dixon Line and into a milieu of Southern romances, mysteries, and the social and private lives of one particular family.
NEW ORLEANS, June 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Nita Clarke, a retired disabled US Navy Vietnam-Era veteran, a former Louisiana radio talk show announcer, and a mother of two, grandmother of ten, and the great-grandmother of two, has completed her new book "Mint Julep: The Reunion": a novel that attempts to encapsulate the many splendid legacy of a Southern family, as dictated by a family member to a writer of notoriety during a family reunion.
"As the LaPierre-Menard's celebrate their three-day family reunion in the shade of a big magnolia tree, they partake in the traditional telling of the family stories," Nita Clarke explained of her novel's plot. "You'll meet the old storytellers as they share their family tales of Dolice Marie and Jean Pierre LaPierre; their beloved Mama Mozelle; the notorious mistress of the LaPierre Plantation, madam Frou-Frous; the powerful juju of the voodoo priestess, Mama Del; the charm of Savannah, MISS BB Carson Declouette; and the tall redheaded Canadian that changed their lives forever, named Menard."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Nita Clarke's novel combines aspects of contemporary Southern Gothic with magical realism and creates an entirely original story that teaches true history of the area while creating fascinating plotlines.
"My book is meant to represent the very essence of true Southern finesse while supporting the very idea that everyone who reads 'Mint Julep: The Reunion' is a true Southerner, if not just for the moment," Nita Clarke said of the effect she hopes her book has on readers.
