Full Description
Sacred Folks brings it all home in the final book of Theodore C. Van Alst Jr.'s urban Native Chicago story cycle. Disciples, demons, gods, gangbangers, and the city itself all meet up to tell unforgettable tales across time and neighborhoods. Our guide through the trilogy, Teddy, is right in the thick of things, and he recounts for us parts of the path to the end and explains how and maybe why we got here and where we might go after all.
