A historical fiction novel. Pirates, smugglers, fishermen, shrimpers, oil field work, Central America, Belize, conquistadors, alligators and rural family life are only a piece of what is found in the MUD ROAD. Through the generations of the Mudeaux family we learn about the great history of Louisiana and how it's connected to Nova Scotia, to Central America, and South America. The Mudeaux family's contributions, sacrifices and chosen paths were never easy. The impact that Coach Mudeaux(Coach Mud) made on Southwest Louisiana reaches far beyond. A young couple growing up in Southwest Louisiana during the 1960s and 70s are positively impacted by Coach Mud but are also impacted by the need to seek adventure and life beyond rural Louisiana. For a time, a fun and carefree life of party and travel carry them through exciting foreign experiences. The serious dangers and reality soon catch up. They become involved in smuggling and end up strung out on drugs and alcohol. In Cental America, at 7 months pregnant, the couple is in Belize on a smuggling run when they crash their truck on an old mud road. Strangers deliver and take the new born baby. Efforts are made to find the child but the strung out couple spiral further into the void. After 7 years they return to Belize with the help of a missionary and find a gift beyond what they sought. A tale of redemption that makes full circle and fills voids. So much history. So much emotion. The adventure and twists never end.
