In the summer of 1889, the lives of three African American sisters are upended when they are abruptly sent away from their parents and the only home they’ve ever known in a small, impoverished Louisiana parish to go live in the backwater with their mysterious, hoodoo-practicing Aunt Teddy, a powerful woman feared by some and hated by others. United by love but separated by passion, will their introduction to a world of mysticism and magic connect the sisters by way of ancestral inheritance, or will they be driven apart by forces beyond their control after tragedy strikes at the hands of a racist sheriff? A deeply personal story of family, faith, and folklore in the post-Reconstruction era of the segregated South, Rootwork is a suspenseful and heartfelt story of tragedy and triumph unlike anything you’ve read before.
