Sweet Olive Tree

Sweet Olive Tree . . . Today's New Orleans-a city renewed, vital and growing. The Big Easy hasn't lost its timeless charm, though. Mardi Gras, the French Quarter and Napoleonic French culture remain part of her fabric . . . as does Voodoo and the chivalrous code of protecting one's loved ones at all cost. Paris, a beautiful, raven haired, dark-eyed, musical Tulane co-ed, falls for law student Doyle. Charming and sexy beyond words, Doyle ignites an overwhelming passion within her, sweeping away her demur restraint. In return, Paris introduces him to the traditions of New Orleans and the hospitality of her moneyed, cultured family. Eventually, his ambitions constrained by their marriage, Doyle lashes out in a spontaneous act of violence. When her family rallies around the comatose Paris, Doyle's secret life begins to unravel. Erotic, suspenseful, sumptuous in its depiction of the many layers of New Orleans culture, Sweet Olive Tree captures, engrosses and delights the reader. Charlene Touby's crisp, fast moving narrative is embodies the full, arousing richness of the Crescent City.

Charlene Touby is a former Miami and New Orleans resident who is both fascinated with and deeply appreciative of local history and customs. She is currently a resident of Winston Salem, N.C. This is her first novel and has been abridged in this edition because a great deal of the historical facts she accumulated are incidental to the telling of the compelling story she has written. Charlene Touby is mother of a daughter, Laurel (resident of NYC), a son, Michael (resident of Winston Salem) and grandmother of Hannah, Harrison and Rebecca Touby.
