About this audiobook
Growing up in Louisiana, Gabriel’s young life is a happy one, despite the growing rift between her mother and her conniving, whiskey-drinking Daddy. Her dreams for a bright future as an artist are cut short, however, when her innocence is shattered by the rich cannery owner Octavious Tate.
Pregnant and desperate to spare her mother the scandal, Gabriel agrees to a shocking plan that will allow Octavious’s wife Gladys to claim the baby as her own and will net Gabriel’s father a huge payoff. Hiding in a tiny abandoned playroom in the Tate mansion, Gabriel is miserable. Her only visitor is her mother, whose mission as a Cajun healer gives her an excuse to treat Gladys Tate’s supposed pregnancy. But nothing prepares Gabriel for the wrenching moment when her baby is taken away forever.
Returning home to the swamp, Gabriel drifts in a world of gloom, brightened only by chance glimpses of her son. But as her father’s reputation as a swamp guide grows, a hunting party brings handsome, gentle Creole millionaire Pierre Dumas to the bayou. Falling desperately in love, Gabriel will not heed the voice warning that her new joy may bring her more grief than she can bear.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Although this book clearly wasn’t written by V.C. Andrews I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Poor Gabrielle never got to know the joy of being a mother. Pierre sucks. Now I’m going to go listen to Ruby.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Tarnished gold is book 5 in the Landry series. Many details are missed and mixed up, or just wrong. Overall, the storyline is good, but not like the other's, all of a sudden sudden you want to scream, DON'T YOU REMEMBER YOUR OWN CHARACTERS or did someone, else detail it , before you would do something like give it away.) Gave the land to my father, 40 acres. Hopefully, they will move back to Michigan from tennessee.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5So after never reading this when it was originally published, I just read it in a couple of hours......and LOVED it! Whatever you do, if you are going to read the "Landry" series, read this one last! As it was published last, the story was so well told, and a perfect lead into for 'Ruby'. Highly recommended.
