When you've had no preparation for the "real world" and suddenly find yourself tossed out into it, it's a hard wake up call. But she's made of tough stuff. And if taking a job at a dive bar on the docks is what she had to do to get by, that's what she was going to do. And you know what? She even managed to make some good friends there. Real friends... REAL people.

Recently her grandfather passed away. He apparently hadn't disowned her. He left her his pride and joy, the Creole Queen. Now things are looking up for Brooke. She's got her Riverboat Casino, she's got her friends, she's got a real shot at making it in the Big Easy after all.
