Beginning in 1812, this fictional biography follows the life of Henriette Delille, a free woman of color who founded the Sisters of the Holy Family. This examination recounts her spiritual journey and struggle to break free from French Quarter society, despite her family’s protests. Instead, she chose to focus on the needs of the less fortunate, teaching such principles as chastity and obedience, until her death in 1862. Today the Catholic Church is considering the Venerable Henriette Delille for sainthood, making her the first African American in North America to receive such an honor. Her story provides a glimpse of what life was like in the French Quarter during the nineteenth century and offers enlightenment on voodoo traditions and the plaçage system.
