Excerpt from RAFAEL:

The Voodoo Queen (Madame Gautier)

reads Gisele's palm

“Like your man, you have faced hardships and survived, becoming stronger and more certain of your course. You give so much to others yet hesitate to take what you want and need. Soon, a challenge will present itself.

“A life-and-death challenge. If you successfully overcome the challenge, you will know da path to take to find love. You must believe in yourself and believe in da magic of love.

“My Gisele, you’re beautiful, inside and out. Never lose sight of your worth and draw on your strength within.”
