Kate Lynn has devoted years to bringing her talented, fragile sister Martha's extraordinary art to the world, while her own life has never quite gotten off the ground. One day, a package arrives from an old friend, a message that will call Kate back to Pascagoula Mississippi, where an Indian tribe had walked into a river rather than be conquered, and where she and Martha began the journey they were now being called to complete. Readers who loved The Help, Swamplandia! and The Secret Life of Bees will enjoy The Last of the Pascagoula.
