Armed with the wisdom of Carl Jung and psychic intuition, California family therapist Sarah Doucette Jean-Louis spends a year looking for love, counseling a stalker and surviving her married fiancé’s plot to kill her.
Sarah has Louisiana Creole roots. She can hold her liquor and make a mean gumbo. She also has an aunt who talks to the dead and a mother who wants her married.
Sarah’s life changes in Louisiana during a four-day reunion with her judgmental family, including her nemesis Cousin Stacy. It was the last place she expected to meet a man, but Michael’s perfect teeth and Armani-wearing buff-ness were irresistible. He tells Sarah that he is visiting from Phoenix. Sarah’s Aunt Cat warns her that Michael is trouble, but she has something to prove to her mother, Stacy and herself.
Once back in California, Sarah is contacted by Michael who claims to be moving from Phoenix to LA. They begin a relationship and within months are engaged. Michael’s suspicious behavior inspires Sarah’s girlfriends towards amateur surveillance. They learn that Michael is a married fraud who has also fathered a child in Louisiana. Sarah is devastated by the truth about Michael, but she finds strength in an irrational desire for revenge. She plays along with plans to marry him so he can be charged as a bigamist. But the plan is thwarted days later when Michael’s family is found dead. Sarah is publicly disgraced as the mistress of a suspected killer.
In Pushed Times, Chewing Pepper, Sarah emerges no longer vulnerable to family pressures to find a husband. She embraces her gift of visions to become an unintended crime fighter.
There is a Creole expression, “pushed times make a monkey chew pepper.” It means that in difficult times, we do things that we ordinarily would not. We share Sarah’s pushed times and can be inspired by her growth.
