This book right here.....


In this searing novel, bestselling author Lolita Files tells the tale of a Southern family torn apart by the secrets it struggles to keep. 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 Botens. In this epic saga, Lolita Files unveils the hidden lives of three generations of the Boten clan, a family as cursed by fate as they are blessed with hope. There's Grandma Amalie, who's willing to sacrifice everything for her son; there's Grace, who manages to conceal 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, finally, there's Lay, whose secret betrayals will set the Boten clan in motion, sending its members on a quest for self-discovery that will lead them from one end of the world to the other.


Now I'm an avid but biased reader. Once I find an author I like I usually stick with them and hardly stray to other authors. But my mom had this book in her library and the cover intrigued me. Let me just say this book was one of the best I've ever read. It's got family secrets, lies with a touch of voodoo all rolled up in one. This should def be made into a movie. I'd pay 10.25 and twenty bucks for some popcorn and mike n ikes *smh* to see it!
