GIGI: A Story of Forbidden Love and Consequence

About the Book

When the goddess Fatima issues a decree of death by voodoo ritual to be performed on Jean Claude Valmond to Queen Laveau and Dr. John, they delegate the task to Georgina “Gigi” Poncetrain, an ambitious apprentice practitioner. Gigi instead falls in love with him and must now suffer the consequences of disobedience.

GIGI chronicles the life of Jean Claude and the events that led to the decision by Fatima to terminate him up to the time he meets Gigi at a celebration of Mardi Gras. After they fall in love, the reader is taken with them on a rollercoaster ride of emotional events that leads to an unpredictable ending. This is a love story readers can relate to and enjoy as a change of pace. It will take you on a journey from beginning to end that will not be easily forgotten.
