Produktbeschreibung
At the onset of the Revolutionary War, grandiose rice plantations line the coastal rivers of the southern colonies, and in this world of marshes and mansions, traditional practices such as ritual recipes, basket weaving, storytelling and hoodoo medicine quietly thrive among the communities of the enslaved laborers. When rebels burn out the Hardin Plantation for Hardin's loyalty to the British Crown, Johab, a feared and respected root doctor, is gravely injured and separated from his wife and son. While fleeing inland, he is taken in by a band of the Muscogee people, who carry Johab to their home in the Blue Ridge Mountains, heal his nearly fatal wounds and teach him a few guarded secrets. Dream walking, hexes, root work and spirits of the dead guide Johab as he searches for his family and tries to survive a confrontation with a desperate and dangerous landowner, August Toombs.
