Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Mystic'al Roots: A Journey from the Deep SouthIn the heart of the 1920s South, where faith runs deep and traditions hold powerful sway, Zuri McGrath returns to Selma, Alabama, to find herself caught between two worlds. Raised in the embrace of the Pentecostal church, Zuri is no stranger to the spirited rhythms of faith. But as she reconnects with her grandmother, affectionately called "Mama," and her family's hidden history, Zuri is drawn toward ancestral practices long whispered about but rarely acknowledged-Hoodoo.Guided by Mama's wisdom and stories from her ancestors, Zuri embarks on a journey of self-discovery that challenges the boundaries between Pentecostal beliefs and the spiritual roots of Hoodoo and Voodoo. Alongside Jabari, a man whose own spirituality complements her own, Zuri discovers the courage to blend these paths, reclaiming her heritage in a world that has often misunderstood and marginalized it.Mystic'al Roots: A Journey from the Deep South is a soulful exploration of family, faith, and resilience, steeped in the richness of African American spiritual traditions. Readers will find themselves immersed in a tale of love, strength, and the sacred bond between past and present-a journey that reminds us all of the power in honoring our roots and embracing who we are.For anyone who has ever felt the pull of their heritage, or wondered about the lives and beliefs of those who came before, Mystic'al Roots offers a poignant, unforgettable story that speaks to the soul.
