Moss in the Oaks

Sometimes the greatest risk isn’t losing everything—it’s discovering what’s worth fighting for. Beneath the moss-draped oaks of New Orleans’ most powerful dynasty, legacy is everything, and the unique culture that holds them together is social currency. When Elizabeth DuBois is summoned home from the life she so carefully constructed, piece by fragile piece, she suspects a medical crisis. What she finds is far more dangerous. Her father, the formidable patriarch of the DuBois empire, is dying, and with his final breath he rewrites the fate of his family and their livelihood. Drawn back into a world of wealth, control, and suffocating expectations, Elizabeth finds herself at the center of a family’s unraveling. Her mother, Isabelle, has spent years preserving the image of a strong, impermeable dynasty, convincing her daughters—and perhaps herself—that the DuBois family was untouchable. But after her husband’s death, the illusion begins to crack. Bound by rivalry, resentment, and deeply buried betrayals, the sisters are no longer firm allies.
