No existing place in New Orleans preserves more of her magical and haunting flavor than her courtyards.

Walk through locked doors, and, surrounded by the stillness of tropical plants and cobblestones, step into the mysterious and remarkable lives of five generations of one New Orleans family.

Based on Laura's memoirs, some 5,000 pages of legal documents from the National Archive in Paris and records from Senegal, relive her compelling stories of passion, devotion, rejection and denial.
