Two children are ripped from their separate homes in 1903, one by a secretive Voodoo sect, the other one hidden out of blind fear. Their uncertain fates set in motion a series of events that reverberate decades later. Opening in the Louisiana swamps and moving into New Orleans, Texas, and St. Louis—this novel weaves together three vivid storylines featuring two friends of different races defying the odds of their heritage and 1950s bigotry. A multigenerational plot, compelling characters, and vivid writing will keep you turning the pages.

Two necessary Vodou ceremonies put this book in the 18+ category. Dealing in a positive light with racial issues, TRIUMPH has been “Sensitivity Read and Approved.”
