Héleine's life is forever changed by the intoxicating magic of her family's jambalaya recipe. While cooking, she's transported through time, witnessing generations of women who came before her, each stirring their own secrets into the simmering pot.

From her modern kitchen to the heart of a Louisiana slave cabin, Héleine experiences the joy and sorrow woven into the history of her heritage. She dances with her Maw Maw Eve, learns the wisdom of ancient tongues, and tastes the bitterness of injustice alongside her ancestors.

But this journey is not just a delicious trip down memory lane. Héleine confronts the brutal realities of the past, from the scorching fields of forced labor to the sting of stolen freedom. Witnessing her family's legacy exploited fuels a fire within her, forcing her to question the true cost of tradition.

Can Héleine navigate the past without altering the present? Will a spoonful of history unlock the shackles of her ancestors? Or will the secrets simmering in the pot consume her whole?
