THE LAST SETBACK LEVEE, situated in fictional Almudena County along the banks of the Mississippi River, weaves a narrative of historical social change in the mid-century South with the life of Bonita Carroll. After inheriting a mosquito infested swamp that she longs to drain and farm, her brother, husband, and best friend conspire to prevent her because of what's hidden there. At once the story of Bonita striving to overcome her station in life, THE LAST SETBACK LEVEE explores the impact of decisions made when longing for something other than truth.
