Set against the backdrop of antebellum New Orleans, the stories explore the intricate relationships among diverse cultures, including French, Spanish, African, Native American, and Caribbean Creoles. They delve into the tensions following the Louisiana Purchase, highlighting the struggles of Creoles of color against the Anglo-American push for a biracial society. George Washington Cable, noted for his realistic depictions of Creole life, addresses themes of racism and mixed-race families, foreshadowing later Southern writers. The book features original artwork by Valerie Khodakovskaya.
