In mid 19th-century New Orleans Marie Laveau was the notorious queen of voodoo--worshiped and feared by blacks and whites alike. Voodoo Dreams reimagines the woman behind this legend, a mesmerizing combination of history and storytelling. Richly written, filled with vivid characters and insight into voodoo, Jewell Parker Rhodes' debut novel introduces a powerful new voice in fiction.
