Chretien Léa

A woman looks back on her family history as her children want to compare it to Gone With the Wind. But most life in slave owning Louisiana was not good, not easy, and no Rhett Butler to be found. This is the first of three volumes. It’s very intense and dark. The illustrator does an excellent job using color to display emotion both in the highs and the lows. I loved the mix of hoodoo, plantation, and slave story. I can not wait to complete the series, read and see what happens next.
