""A chronicle of Norma's rise from a life of poverty to that of a wealthy grande dame--a New Orleans legend with powerful political connections who was given the keys to the city. She answered to no one, and surrendered only to an irrational, obsessive love, which ultimately led to her surprising and violent death."--Jacket."
