Meridian, Mississippi
The mystical divide between good and evil was gossamer thin on August 2, 1964, exactly one month after President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law. Fueled by bigotry and determined to ensure the Colored residents of his district didn’t get any highfalutin ideas about equality, Sheriff Edgar DeLonge enlisted the aid of his deputy, Neusome, and Lou Sadie Krutchner to exact violence on the François family, a proud Black family of farmers who dared to hold their heads high in a land that sought to crush them. But the sheriff and his gang of racist miscreants underestimated the Françoises. What awaited them was not submission, but a reckoning that would leave them embroiled in the spiritual maelstrom swirling around Elizabeth Anne François, one that would leave all and sundry with blood on their hands that no amount of soap and water could wash off. They came for the Keeper of the Souls, only to find their souls forever lost within the shadows.
