On the run from the evil Jackie Blue, Carol Ann and her mother find respite in a tiny town deep in the swamps of Louisiana. On her sixteenth birthday Carol Ann finds her mother murdered. Mama Queen, descended from Haitian Voodoo royalty, convinces the local authorities to let Carol Ann live with her in the candy apple red house in the swamps. Soon after being taken to Mama’s in the candy apple red house in the swamps, Carol Ann discovers her ‘intuition’ comes from deep within. She is a sacred ‘moon child’. But all is not as it seems at Mama Queen’s.

Three young men caught up in the Civil War leave home and family to fight for what they believe is right, only to discover war is not what they envisioned. Each made a promise; two were broken, one should’ve been. Trapped in a dimension between life and death, their souls are destined to never rest in peace, doomed to wander for eternity until, 150 years later, they find the fourth promise which can set them free.

Alone on a wagon train and threatened by the man who murdered her mother, Dixie Dandelion steals a horse belonging to an undercover Pinkerton agent and escapes to the town of Six Shooter Siding. Hired at first to cook in a railroad camp, she begins to make friends; even the town’s soiled doves assist her when she buys the abandoned ranch. Determined never to depend on others, especially men, Dixie is torn between trusting Pinkerton Jackson McCullough and standing on her own. But will this new independence be enough to save Dixie when the past catches up with her?
