BLOOD OF THE DRAGON TREE The Saga of Congo Julia The haunting rhythms of native Batá drums and the dark mysteries of Santeria cast a spell over newspaper reporter Mac McKinney as he uncovers the 200-year Saga of African princess and Santeria priestess, Congo Julia. Taken violently from her home village in the Congo by Spanish slave traders and transported on a ship of human misery, Congo Julia survives and grows while working at the Estanoz tobacco plantation in Colonial Cuba. In 1858, her saga takes her to Key West, a rough but burgeoning town of seafaring wreckers, spongers and cigar houses. Now, though long dead, Congo Julia is pursued by ghosts from her past and reporters from her future-- as her saga carries her home.
I loved this book and didn’t want it to end. I was staying at a resort in Key West this year and purchased this book in the hotel boutique. When I checked out it was the now retired author at the register! He kindly autographed the book. Ok, so this has nothing to do with the book but it was a fun coincidence. This well written and poetic saga makes feel like you are there along for the journey.
