None but the righteous : a novel / Chantal James.
""None but the righteous" is a southern gothic fever dream, a voodoo-laced journey through the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Set adrift when his hometown of New Orleans is ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, Ham struggles for belonging between the Atlanta home of a childhood friend and the rural Alabama home of the mother of his child. As he reckons with his impending fatherhood, Ham navigates his new circumstances under the guidance of the spirit of St. Martin de Porres, whose relic was given to him by his fostermother when he was a child. When Ham finally embarks on a fraught journey back to New Orleans, he seeks the answer to a question he's been unable to face: did his foster mother survive the hurricane? Along his way home, Ham catches sight of a freedom he's never known-and he must reclaim his body and mind from the spirit who watches over him, guides him, and seizes possession of him"-- Provided by publisher.

Summary
None but the Righteous : A Novel
In seventeenth-century Peru, St. Martin de Porres was torn from his body after death. His bones were pillaged as relics, and his spirit was said to inhabit those bones. Four centuries later, nineteen-year old Ham is set adrift from his hometown of New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. Hidden beneath his clothes, he wears a pendant handed down from his foster mother, Miss Pearl. When Ham finally embarks on a fraught journey back home, he seeks the answer to a question he cannot face: is Miss Pearl still alive?
