Set in the fictional Louisiana town of Blue Bayou, this trilogy leans hard into the atmosphere of bayou country: Spanish moss, crawfish, hot summers, and the particular rhythms of small Southern towns. Each book follows one of the Callahan brothers returning to a place he left behind and finding reasons to stay.
The three novels are Blue Bayou, River Road, and Magnolia Moon. Ross captures the sense that in a town like Blue Bayou, your past is never far away, and sometimes that turns out to be a good thing.
