Dear Aunt Addi

A 109 year old wealthy widow with buried secrets. A nosey journalist with a burning 🔥 desire to dig them up.

On the early morning of June 03, 1975, shots rang out from the estate of the oldest and wealthiest sugarcane heir in the state of Louisiana, Addison Devereux. Someone had been digging. Asking too many questions. Unearthing things that were meant to remain buried. When all was said and done local journalist Marvin Descant was found dead with a hole blasted right through the middle of his torso. But who would do such a thing and why?

Fast forward to April 2023. Remington Robichaux, a fifty nine year old Creole woman living in Marshall, Texas decides to revisit her deep southern roots through the retelling of her ancestry rooted in Butterville. She shares the history with her six year old granddaughter, except it's not such a straight forward story.

You see Butterville is the only place in the whole state of Louisiana where there's an ol' locomotive that runs backwards through the town, and its been that way for over 128 years. Why? The answer to that is the same revelation that led journalist Marvin Descant to his death. But someone knew. Addi knew!
