Possession (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781481464413)

In the tradition of Paranormal Activity and The Exorcist, an ordinary girl with a strange illness that doctors can't seem to diagnose recounts her experience with the dark and ancient entity that's making her sick in this chilling diary that features photos and images of what she experienced.

All her life, Laetitia Jones has only wanted to be a star. It's more than an ambition--somewhere deep inside, she knows that she was born for greatness.

But her path to stardom now seems to be halted by a mysterious, undiagnosed illness that's taken over her body. Doctors don't have a clue and most days, she's stuck at home documenting her strange symptoms--symptoms that start with fevers and chills, but soon escalate to bizarre bodily reactions.

Laetitia's only escape from her illness is following the news--and the race riots that are moving closer and closer to her neighborhood. But when horrific visions begin to invade her mind, even the media can't distract her and she begins to wonder--is her illness something biological...or is it something more? Are the voices she hears and the notes she finds in her own handwriting signs of insanity...or signs of something much more sinister and demonic? Or, perhaps, signs of something benevolent...something holy even.

Laetitia has always known she'd be famous...she just didn't know it would happen this way.
