Description
Set in Louisiana in the late 1950s, Cecile, a teenage girl, befriends Perry, a ghostly apparition in her grandmother's living room. They learn, laugh, and love together, amid the rich Cajun culture of her family. Cecile's unlikely friendship opens her eyes to the beauty of diversity and the injustice of segregation. Together, they struggle to reconcile human potential with social limitations, while their interactions affect the lives around them, their futures, and the past.

Person
Authors Stefan Scheuermann and Paul Alexander met at their local library and bonded quickly over their shared love of Scottish History. Paul is a poet and storyteller, whose stories churned in his head, waiting for an outlet. Stefan, an award-winning author of historical fiction, provided that outlet.Side-by-side, they researched and wrote, and worked and fashioned the story of the King of the Gulls. They blur the lines between history and fantasy, and demonstrate how fantastic real lives can be.
