Like most college campuses, Cornick College administrators are challenged by numerous problems, sometimes without success. That is until Hettie Ardoin enrolls in the college. She’s not your average first-year college student. Hettie is a voodoo priestess, descended from the most famous voodoo priestess of them all, Marie Laveau, who ruled New Orleans in the 1800s. Hettie’s voodoo powers come in handy to help dormmates cope with nasty professors, abusive boyfriends, dorm life, campus politics, and even their sex lives. Her spells seem to work. Or do they? After she takes a psychology course, Hettie begins to doubt the voodoo powers she thought she’d inherited from her mother. Confused, Hettie reconsiders all she believes is true about the voodoo religion. She wonders who she is if not a voodoo priestess. Strange events provide an answer to that question.
