I ain't know nothing except he's a bad man Mambo.' Inspired by real-life events, this is the remarkable and uncompromising story of one young woman's refusal to accept her fate in 1920s Louisiana Jobs and Jesus from the big town don't ever seem to make it out here. Not down through the hackberry woods to the shack where I live with my Mambo. Not now Pappy's gone. No, here's where the old ways squat, where devil's work heals and some say harms. That don't mean the big town don't visit though - white folks with their shirt sleeves, liquor stink, and nasty ways. More dark in them than even Mambo can hold off. But I got me a friend now, fierce and vengeful, and we got a powerful secret that's gonna change everything. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

When the horrors of what she is forced to endure gets to be too much for her, she runs down to the creek and seeks solace from a spirit who gives her strength. One day she draws upon this strength to do what she must to stop the torture. While her life takes a turn for the positive, she turns her back on her voodoo heritage and walks down a different path for herself.
But when she hears of another child lying in hospital, perhaps at the hands of the same men who had violated her, the spirit who has always guided her, helps her face her fears and break her silence.
The characters are extremely well developed in this multifaceted and gritty story. ( )
