I really enjoyed this book. It's the story of Leslie, a Haitian college student attending an HBCU. Leslie has had a rough life and is trying to better her life by attending college. She is a strong and determined to succeed. All of her family members look to her for support. When her mother calls her from her death bed, she revels to Leslie that her grandmother was an high priestess and that Leslie looks just like her. Leslie is estatic and doesn't know how to deal with this new revelation. She begins reading up on Vadou and starts taking things into her own hands when trouble comes knocking into Leslie's life.I gave this book 4 stars only because I didn't like the ending. Hopefully Mr. Tyree will give us a sequel.
