These stories explore people dealing with love, devotion, and personal sacrifice – emotions complicated by changing times. Standout characters include P'tite Louison, whose history shapes her future; Luc Pomfrette, a man working toward redemption after losing his place in society; and Francois Lagarre, a tombstone-cutter with artistic dreams, each struggling against community expectations to find their own path.
