Eve Christensen Wallinga awoke one night in a hotel room in the New Orleans French Quarter, strange phenomena whirling around her (in the room, not on Bourbon Street). She picked up a pen, which began glowing between her fingers, and put it to paper. Thus, The Voodoo Breast: A Novel of Healing was born, or at least, conceived. The labor was long and difficult—seven years. Readers would be surprised to know which parts of the story are true and which are fiction. Voodoo Breast: A Story of Healing was named to Kirkus Reviews’ Best Books of 2014.

“Down the street, tree branches strung in purple Halloween lights began to shudder and sway. Dusty whirlwinds rose from the ground, and from the north came a great rush of wind.
From Congo Square, she thought. Where the slaves danced and sang.
"...and St. Louis Cemetery," whispered in her ear.

The only one oblivious to the sudden shift in the air--as if she were expecting it--was Angelique, who continued her dance, face to the sky. As though nothing had changed, though everything had.”
