Underground Voices to Release Vicki Salloum's New Book

Vicki Salloum's novel focuses on Annie Ajami's New Orleans' book store which provides not just a book store but a salon and haven for writers, and a beacon of culture in a run-down neighborhood. But just when the fledgling store seems destined to become financially viable, offering a lifeline to a better future for the destitute characters who have become her adopted family, the shop is plunged into a world of violence and Annie's dream for a literary life falls to ruin, like scattered pages from a broken bookbinding.
