Saturday Comes: A Novel of Love and Vodou

"Saturday Comes" weaves an eerie tale narrated by the Vodou Spirit of Death, set against the backdrop of Haiti's deep societal issues. It follows Maya St. Fleur from a harrowing journey from Haiti to the U.S., fueled by a desire for vengeance against Henri Chenet, the man who ruined her family. Years later, in Miami, she reunites with Chenet's son, her childhood love, and faces a daunting choice: pursue revenge or embrace love.

Ms. Fabius was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and moved to the United States with her family at the age of eight. She grew up in New York, moved to Miami at the age of 21 then headed west to Los Angeles, where she lives today. In 1990, Ms. Fabius and her sculptor husband opened Galerie Lakaye, a contemporary ethnic art gallery with a focus on Haitian art. The gallery has been featured in various television shows and prestigious publications, including Vanity Fair, Bon Appetit Magazine, Los Angeles Times, and many others. Ms. Fabius is a body art pioneer, having introduced temporary henna tattoos on the West Coast in 1997. Her company, Lakaye Studio, manufactures a line of temporary tattoo kits. She is also an independent museum curator for venues throughout southern California.
Co-narrated by the Baron Samedi, Vodou Spirit of Death, Saturday Comes is an atmospheric tale of love and hate; of Haiti's long-smoldering societal and class issues; of the magic, which reigns over the everyday lives of Haitian natives, and of the unseen forces that draw human beings together.

It is a cold, wet, living nightmare when 12-year-old Maya St. Fleur finds herself on a makeshift boat bulging with other Haitians fleeing their island for a better life in the States. The sordid degradation and horror of that trip will mark her for life.

The name of the one who has coerced her to leave the country and family she loves is Henri Chenet-perpetrator of unspeakable acts against her mother; blackmailer; and father of the boy who makes her heart beat with young love. Consumed with a desire for vengeance, she nevertheless vows to, one day, kill the son he cherishes above all else.

Years later, she reconnects with her childhood love in Miami, and they fall for each other all over again. Will she be able to follow through with her dark, murderous plan hatched so long ago?
