And why is she so wary of the charismatic preacher man who promises to save them all?Rue understands fear.
It has shaped her life and her mother’s before her. And now she knows she must face her fears – and her ghosts – to find a new way forward for herself and her people.Conjure Women is a story of the lengths we’ll go to save the ones we love, from a stunning new voice in fiction.
