    About this ebook

    A cream-colored beauty liberates a plantation when she swallows her master’s souls. An aging prostitute persuades a town to burn her alive so they can become stronger. A young woman slays her mother and inspires an entire people to hope. These three tales speak to an imagination, shared by the descendants of slaves seeking to preserve their humanity as they swim in rivers under water.
