Almost every place of worship in the Mississippi Delta is filled on any given Sunday with practically every black woman in town. They're quoting scriptures from behind beautiful smiles and offering godly counsel for hurting souls. Leia Devine, like so many other black women, sought spiritual healing to overcome generational curses and personal demons. Digging deep in her past uncovers layers of tragedies, that composes this young black woman into the epitome of the Mississippi Blues. She looked to those smiling faces as a segue to religion to lift her broken spirit. What she got instead was familiar faces of worldly perpetrators camouflaged as workers of God. Did the Bible Belt strangle the life out of Leia? Her journey for healing through religion lead to her discovery of God. But was it enough to save her life from being buried in the Mississippi mud.
Excerpt from Native Cemeteries and Forms of Burial East of the Mississippi In the journals of many explorers and missionaries who traversed the great wilderness east of the Mississippi when it was yet the home of native tribes are references to the burial customs of the people with whom they came in contact. Villages were widely dispersed throughout the land, and often the places of burial were near by, differing in distant parts of the country, conforming with the man ners of the tribe by whom the particular region was occupied. The native villages have now disappeared, although many sites are indicated by bits of pottery and other objects scattered over the surface, but frequently the cemeteries once belonging to the settle ments may be discovered. The forms of burial varied. Among some tribes a period of months or years would intervene between the death of the person and the final disposition of the remains, and seldom were all the ceremonies attending death and burial recorded by a single writer, therefore it is necessary, when attempting to re count the entire procedure, to quote from several narratives. And in many instances the description of the last disposition of the dead will agree with the position of the remains now revealed in the ancient cemeteries, thus tending to identify the former occupants of the sites, and to verify the statements of early observers, many of which are presented on the following pages.

Guys on the streets everyday pretends to be a Boss, but you haven't met a real Boss until you meet Round. Round was self made from birth. His mother was a bootlegger and his father was Drug Lord, and therefore Round was born to be a jacker of all trades. Money,cars,clothes and hoe's over everything was his life and passion. His side kick Nicolee was his right hand girl until she decided to trade sides. "What did she do that for,because she got the business. (smacked up) After getting out of prison in Louisiana, Round decided to expand his hustle game to Mississippi,despite that the territory was Klan riddled. He didn't quite give a damn though, until the Klans put his Boss status to test. Life behind bars in the Klans ruled courtroom was his designation after all,but his hustle game didn't stop there,because getting money was in his blood. Eventually,Nicolee became married and had children and Round hated her even more after learning that her kids was fathered by the same guy she had cheated on him with. Several weeks into his sentence inside the Mississippi Department of Corrections ,Round was able to manipulated the guards into mules, because money had to be made. He had a conversation that was amazingly unpredictable when he made his approach upon any guard. He was never denied, but rather everything was peaches and cream from that point forward.With his manipulation game on fire, Round meets two notorious ride or die prison guards named Pretty and Sexy Black. He met Pretty in Rankin County and Sexy Black at the Delta Correctional Facility in Greenwood. Both were in love with Round, until they ended up dying in a heated controversy over his love. Round moved more drugs in the system than the Mexican's Cartel. His hustle game was exclusive and it made Greendot famous. After getting his weight up ,Round went to focusing on giving his life sentence back. He kind of figured that it would be hard to accomplish under certain circumstances,but with his mind frame "possibility" was not an option, achievement was the goal.
