Bud’s Journey
Home
The luck of a gambling hand had changed his
fate and now the young cowboy was ready to
start a new life.
Bud
After serving time in the Louisiana State Prison,
Bud Downey spent many months winning a small
fortune as a gambler. Feeling confident that he
had won enough money, he packed up his stake
to begin his journey to Limason, Texas—Home.
After his last winning hand at the gambling table,
a couple of disgruntled cowboys were angry that
they had lost all their money to the smooth-
talking young man. As Bud traveled near the
border of Lafayette, Louisiana, he was
ambushed, shot and left for dead in the swampy
waters of the bayou.
Rosie
Rosie Jourdian never dreamed at the young age
of eighteen she would have the sole responsible
for caring for her two young siblings. With one
friend in the world, an old black Creole Voodoo
woman, she was abandoned by her mama and
left to raise a six week old baby boy and an
eleven year old brother.
While fishing in the bayou river, she discovered a
bloody cowboy in the swampy waters. With
Justice’s special herbs and potions, they nursed
him back to health.
Once well enough to travel, Bud Downey’s luck
had ran out. The men who were looking for him
discovered his whereabouts and burned down
Rosie’s shack leaving her family homeless. With
their situation changed could Bud ride away and
leave Rosie alone in the Bayou—now homeless?
Would this independent young girl go with him
and leave the only home she has ever known?
