Spirits Of Louisiana Book

The book begins with my Cajun Grandmother telling me, from as far back as I can remember, that I had the "gift". She never had a chance to explain to me what this meant since she died before she felt I was old enough to begin learning how to use it. She was also aware of the great conflict this would cause with my Evangelical Minister Mother.

The book is a reflection of my life growing up with the gift of mediumship in South Louisiana where my Mother's strict religious beliefs collided with the practice of "Cadoo" and the spiritualist culture of my Cajun heritage. I tell of my experiences dealing with spirits of all types, from children, dead relatives,
discovering my Great-Grandmother as my Spirit Guide to taking on inhuman demonic forces. I try to pass on a knowledge of Cajun Heritage and the power of the practice of "Cadoo" (mixing Voodoo with Catholicism).

For many years my Father had me hold this gift captive for fear of my Mother's wrath and the scrutiny that he saw his own Mother go through. Eventually there came a time when I faced a spirit unlike any other, strong and powerful and not of this world, that made my Father realize that I had to undergo the training he had hoped I would never have to use.

This is the story of my life, my reality, my truth.
