Now, the riot is over, the National Guard has left, and life can begin
to return to normal in the black-owned Sable Parish.

made it her mission to get to know the white side of her family, the
Beauregards, and takes a job as a maid in their home, watching quietly

at nothing to have Johnnie to himself. He has set the wheels in motion
to take over the New Orleans Mob, with Johnnie by his side as willing
concubine.
