Summary[]
A black house maid works in a hotel and an eccentric alcoholic, and prejudiced, writer who is a frequent guest there, and recounts the story of the lengths to which she was willing to go to ensure the success of her own son.
The author that frequents her hotel, is a horrible person. He's a straight up Nazi. He and his friends have a big party at the hotel the night President Kenny was killed. They party right in front of the main character woman. She is a young black lady who loved Kennedy ...she must clean up after the party. Later she becomes pregnant and she wants to ensure her baby will be talented and prosperous, she enlists the help of some kindda voodoo lady who gives her instructions on how to make the "evil author" guy become
the unborn babies "natural father". Its a VERY UNUSALY STORY even by King standards
