An Atchafalaya Childhood
This is a collection of stories, told casually to Laura Westbrook over the course of several years, by boatbuilder and musician Faren Serrette. Dr. Westbrook, recognizing that Mr. Serrette was describing a vanishing way of life among Cajun boys, recorded them and was granted permission to share them here.
