Summary:
"At the historically black college of Dillard University in the lush mystical city of New Orleans, the beautiful and serious
Leslie
Beaudet is struggling with a dark secret of power in a world that is pulling her in many directions. In the eyes of her Haitian immigrant father,
Leslie
is a queen who deserves more than the broken dreams and carnage of poverty. To her Black Indian mother, she is a source of pride and strength, a reason for carrying on. To her younger sister, already the mother of two and a high school dropout,
Leslie
is the only person who cares enough to share her woes. To her brother, she is the victim he failed to protect. To her college peers and teacher,
Leslie
is a determined, resourceful student, most likely to succeed, yet always impenetrably private. When a series of murders befall her New Orleans community, they increasingly point in
Leslie
's direction. Slowly, her friends and relatives realize they've never really known Leslie--a complicated young woman terrified of failure, struggling with painful family secrets, praying for security that has eluded everyone around her, and craving the power to change her fate, a power that was hidden from her until now...when it's too late to stop her."--Container.
