⠀
Pregnant out of wedlock, Annie Moore, was sent away in shame to have her baby in a convent. When the nuns took her baby, she chose to escape wanting more for herself and in order to survive she resorted to prostitution.
⠀
As a highly desired demi-mondaine, Bessie became her “performing name”. She enjoyed the luxury this life gave her and spoiled herself with jewels and fine garments. After a few years, she steadily hoped one of her wealthy suitors would take her away from this life.
⠀
While living in a New Orleans brothel, she met Marie Laveau and Marie warned her of a man and gave her some gris gris to ward off danger.
⠀
Bessie finally meets a man and he happens to be the son of a very rich family and she follows him in hopes to leave the prostitution life behind her and to become a fine lady of society finally.
⠀
Things don’t go as planned for Bessie, but as the story goes you can’t keep a good woman down, no matter how hard one might try!
⠀
This was so freaking good y’all! Jody Hadlock’s writing was brilliant and I flew through this book so fast! Based off a true story, it’s one of the reasons why so many people love, read and wonder about paranormal life.
