Savonne, Not Vonny in Bloomington, MN

From her Indianapolis home, upstairs from the whorehouse where her mother works, young Savonne is taken deep into the bayous of New Orleans. There she learns about Voodoo magic from her aged great-grandfather and meets the dangerous Diamond John, who is out to steal her family's powerful conjuring book.
With its mix of rural magic and urban realism,
Savonne, Not Vonny
invites readers to reimagine the cultural traditions of New Orleans, pushing the boundaries of reality, and redefining home.
