"Have you ever observed that we pay much more attention to a wise passage when it is quoted than when we read it in the original author?"

"Esquerita Reyna, better known as Baby Cat-Face, leaves town after witnessing a murder and meets soul singer Sugargirl Crooks, whose influence guides her to Mother Bizco's Temple of the Few Washed Pure by Her Blood. There she becomes unknowingly wrapped up in an elaborate plan to give birth to a female messiah who will lead a feminist revolution in the 21st century." (Libr J)
| | | | From The Publisher
Shocked and confused by the violence and craziness of everyday life, Esquerita Reyna, also known as Baby Cat-Face, is ill-prepared for the modern world. Living in the shadow world of New Orleans, taking spooky side trips to Mississippi and North Carolina, she struggles with the specters of love, fundamentalist religion, and extra-terrestrial activity, to name just a few. After being hijacked with a busful of other passengers and forced to watch a peculiar avant-garde dance about insects, Baby Cat-Face gives it all up and joins Mother Bizco's Temple of the Few Washed Pure by Her Blood. Her membership is jeopardized, though, when a moment of unheavenly forgetfulness entangles her with one Waldo Orchid, a grossly fat young man who has a weakness for obscure poetry during sex. The fate of Baby's unborn child is no more reassuring than hers, and his daughter's only inheritance will be the book her mother wrote: Great Women I Have Heard About But Never Met.
