I have also suggested two books by Toni Adeyemi a brilliant author who tells the story of life when the magic was alive. When the help of the Orisha was so close, contact was forbidden. Told through the eyes of a young girl and her friends, you hear of:
All these and more as the story unfolds within a world so close to spirituality we once knew and was taken away from us forever.
Book one in the series
Book two in the series.
Be sure to check those out too, and comeback so we can have our own private bookclub meeting.
