Back to Wando Passo is the passionate and elegantly written story that propels two related love triangles—one marriage unraveling in the present day and another one shattered by the Civil War—to a simultaneous crescendo of betrayal, revenge, and redemption.

Back to Wando Passo grapples with the tangled subject of race in America, and the plot lines are haunted by an occult twist. When Ransom Hill, the contemporary protagonist, discovers a Civil War-era “prenda,” an iron pot used by Cuban slaves for conjuring, he unearths something very strange indeed.
