Nevers Farrow Clark, thirty-something florist, is sick of working with flowers. She considers her life to be as normal as it can get, and Nevers is not a big fan of normal. As much as she'd like to change things, it's hard to get motivated in Lake Charles, Louisiana, where so much never changes. She's awaiting the opportunity of a lifetime, a chance to do something that will transform her world.And then the chance comes. Nevers, and her best friend Arden, are given the opportunity to write a book, but it isn't long before Nevers starts doubting again. As the work and the traveling begin Nevers feels like things are falling apart around her. Her business is suffering; her chance at getting her last romantic relationship up and running again is all but gone, and the Catholic guilt she was raised with makes her feel like she didn't deserve the opportunity to begin with.

Louisiana's Chenier Plain is a 2,200-square-mile region of marshes and oak-covered ridges (cheniers) that stretches along the Gulf of Mexico from Sabine Lake to Vermilion Bay. Its inhabitants, some 6,000 people of Cajun and other ancestries, retain strong economic and cultural ties to the land and its teeming wildlife. They call it paradise...but it is a vulnerable paradise. In this multifaceted study, Gay Gomez explores the interaction of the land, people, and wildlife of the Chenier Plain, revealing both the uniqueness of the region and the challenges it faces. After describing the geography and history of the Chenier Plain, Gomez turns to the lifeways of its people. Drawing on their words and stories, she tells how the chenier dwellers combine modern occupations with traditional pursuits such as alligator and waterfowl hunting, fur trapping, and fishing. She shows how these traditions of wildlife use provide both economic incentives for conservation and a source of personal and place identity. This portrait of a "working wetland" reveals how wildlife use and appreciation can give rise to a stewardship that balances biological, economic, and cultural concerns in species and habitat protection.
