Des Wallace
Jean-Baptiste and Marie
A mythology rendered in the tradition of the African diaspora. Love, a magical staff, and a destiny that demands more than expected — rooted in Haitian and West African spiritual tradition.
About the Book
Love is the beginning. Sacrifice is the destination.
Jean-Baptiste sets off in search of love and returns with a magical staff — and a destiny that demands more than he expected to give. Part love story, part spiritual allegory, Jean-Baptiste and Marie draws from Haitian and West African spiritual tradition to tell a story about bravery, sacrifice, and what it means to serve something larger than yourself. A richly imagined entry into the Black Atlantic mythological tradition.
