Description of Leslie: A Novel
The New York Times bestselling novel about a beautiful young woman with a dangerous secret
At the historically black Dillard University in the lush city of New Orleans, Leslie Beaudet struggles with a dark secret of power in a world that is pulling her in many different directions. Her friends and family see her in many ways — from a father’s deserving princess to a mother’s source of pride and strength, from a caring listener to a motivated student — but does anyone know the true Leslie?
When a series of murders befall her New Orleans community and increasingly points in Leslie’s direction, her friends and relatives realize they’ve never really known her at all. Slowly, this complicated young woman emerges. She is terrified of failure, struggling with family secrets, praying for elusive security, and craving the power to change her fate. Her power was hidden from her until now…and it might be too late to stop her.
Omar Tyree delivers another exciting tale filled with irresistible and authentic characters you won’t soon forget.
