Fiction. COME TO ME is a tale of a woman just sprung from prison who finds her way back to a once familiar San Francisco. Gina seeks out her old friend Francine whose rooming house is a refuge for women who are devotees of Santeria, the religion brought to this hemisphere by African slaves. It is above a botanica and curio shop run by Oleander, whose secret past will play a crucial role in this story of love, magic, greed and desire. "Take one of Soracco's plucky ex-cons who can't catch a break...throw in a cursed statue that everyone wants to get their hands on, and shake. What you get is a cocktail of classic noir mixed with magic that will keep you turning the page till the sun rises."—Victoria Law COME TO ME is a joint publication of Ithuriel's Spear Press and the Green Arcade Press: www.thegreenarcade.com
