The second novel of the Blues trilogy, Shadows of the Blues, picks up the saga when Phillip Fergerson discovers that his beautiful Creole wife, now confined to a mental institution, has committed several crimes. Later she dies in a bizarre accident, and Phillip falls in love with Martha's look-alike sister, which threatens to disrupt his family life and the relationship with his mistress. In the milieu of the blues, racial turmoil and accusations of murder, Phillip struggles through the shadows of the various emotional challenges that now threaten to destroy his family.
Bodacious Blues, is the third and final novel of the Blues Trilogy. It picks up the time line from 1965 to 1985, and is primarily focused on the coming of age of Ann and Les Martel, the grandchildren of Martha Broussard and Phillip Fergerson. They are the third generation descendants of this proud Creole family who has lived through years of lynching, lust, murder, religious conflict, voodoo, racism and of course the blues.
Now the grandchildren must learn to carve their own paths in a world that seems remarkable different from their grandmother's as they grapple with their own coming of age. Honesty has become a weakness, truth is no longer the truth and sexual cross-identification is a new "value" that must be confronted. Yet, underneath these challenges of a modern society so distinct from their Creole roots, Ann and Les find that they must also still deal with religious controversy and racial exploitation.
