Believers

Believers is a short story collection that vividly examines surprising people and their belief systems. Leslie’s intricate stories delve into the often odd behaviors of snake handlers and voodoo specialists, mystical new age preachers, agnostics and hermits, prophets and jazz junkies, and born-again tapestry collectors. All believe deeply in their various gods.
