About this ebook
The doctor tosses the live embryo into Chalk River where it is carried to Breton Swamp. It is swallowed whole by a snapping turtle and attaches itself to its intestines. It is laid with a clutch of eggs on the bank and rolls off into water, swimming like a baby turtle, further into the swamp.
Brother Brown, kind, sole-survivor of the swamp, rescues Netti and brings her to live with him in his sinking shack. While she is there, she saves the pink turtle-like creature out of the water and raises it. It is a female. Netti calls her Tortue, which is the French word for turtle.
Armand, a reporter, comes to the shack for a story and decides to rescue them all from their poor and dangerous dwelling. A cypress crushes the shack, sending it downward into the dark mire. Brother Brown dies, and Armand takes Netti and the creature, Tortue, away in his boat, during a hurricane-force storm. Jealous Tortue has a surprise for Nettis gentleman friend. Three of them vie for survival, but only two remain after the storm.
