"Love on the Levee" is a Historical Fiction novel based on the Great Floods of the 1920s, especially the 1927 Flood located along the Mississippi River. Thousands of people were displaced, crops and land were destroyed, and hundreds died from the floods. Many African-American families left during this time and moved north to the industrial cities. In order to control the flooding, the levees were raised and spillways were built along the lower Mississippi River. The novel focuses on the floods around New Orleans and Norco, Louisiana; and the Bonne Carre Spillway located near Norco.
