Story is as strong as reality.

When Etoile moves to New Orleans, she leaves behind in Mississippi a childhood of loss, a host of conflicting memories, and a lot of dead people. Only one of whom perished under suspicious circumstances.

But there are rules for living in a magical city such as New Orleans. Etoile realizes this the moment she accidentally conjures a castle and a prince. And a saint. And her three ancestral grannies.

The prince is desperate to find his would-be assassin. Since murder runs in the family, Etoile and her grannies join the quest, and their often-risible, sometimes-precarious trek compels the krewe through history, family, and the inscrutable city.

As they search for the fiend, Etoile and the prince-separately and as one-regress and come of age again. Sometimes destiny arrives in a mist and lingers like the blush of good wine.

Award winning Southern writer Ellen Morris Prewitt invokes a surrealistic dream state in When We Were Murderous Time-Traveling Women. Flawlessly set in New Orleans, this fantastic tale of self-discovery will energize the resolve and lighten the spirit.
