'I aint know nothing except hes a bad man Mambo.'Inspired by real-life events, this is the remarkable and uncompromising story of one young womans refusal to accept her fate in 1920s LouisianaJobs 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 Pappys gone. No, heres where the old ways squat, where devils work heals and some say harms.That dont mean the big town dont 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 thats gonna change everything.
