Publisher Marketing: Describing the dichotomy of being both revered and reviled, this memoir traces the story of a "sangoma"--a traditional healer--who is also a lesbian. Descriptions of traditional African healing practices and rituals are provided alongside the personalized account of one woman acting as a mirror to the daily hardships and indignities felt by members of the gay community in Africa.
