Fiction
"Everybody knows everybody else's business in Downtown,
Tennessee. Neighbors while away afternoons at the local
bar, swapping rumors about voodoo, incest, and
illegitimate children. Usually they're gossiping about the
Boten clan. In this epic family saga, Lolita Files unveils
the hidden lives of three generations of the Boten family.
She introduces us to Grandma Amalie, a mother so fiercely
protective, she will quietly sacrifice everything for her
son. There's Grace, who conceals the identity of her
child's father for more than twenty years. There's Aunt
Sukie, whose strange power over her husband, Walter, is
matched only by the strength of her dark magic. And then
there's Lay, the bad seed, whose secret betrayals will
cost his family dearly. The family's past begins rising to
the surface when a mysterious fire takes the life of young
Ophelia Boten's infant son. The tragedy sets the family in
motion, its members on a quest for self-discovery that
will lead them to the drug world of inner-city Detroit, a
midwestern college campus, the jungles of Vietnam, and
back again. Ophelia sets her own course, one that will
ultimately bring her into the arms of a caring and
benevolent lover."--
