Overview

Immerse yourself in the vibrant tapestry of the LaPierre-Menard family's saga in Mint Julep: The Reunion, As Told to Gracie Buckhalter. Journey from the rustic bayous of Louisiana to the heart of New Orleans, tracing a narrative that leaps from humble shacks to high-society soirees, from rags to riches, and from quiet plantations to the vivacious rhythm of Zydeco music.Your charismatic narrator, Alexandra LaPierre-Menard, unfolds the family's adventurous reunion to the keen pen of Gracie Buckhalter with a Southern charm that's as enticing as a sweet summer breeze. As the tale unwinds, you'll dance to the beat of the South, if only momentarily, amidst laughter, camaraderie, and a sprinkle of good ol' mischief.Meet the tale-weavers of the LaPierre-Menard lineage as they reminisce about the indomitable Dolice Marie and Jean Pierre LaPierre, the tender matriarch Mama Mozelle, the infamous Madam Frou-Frous, the mystical allure of voodoo priestess MamaDel, and a life-altering encounter with a tall, red-headed Canadian named Menard.
