Eleven-year-old Nhamo is operating for her life. When the town witch finder decrees that she must marry a cruel stranger to propitiate an wicked heart, her only recourse is to grab a fishing boat and go buying a father she has never met. By themselves on the Musengezi River, Nhamo has meager resources to help her endure loneliness, hunger, wild animals, and even land mines. Through the grueling weeks in her seeping fishing boat and on a deserted island, she has only visions of her inactive mother and other heart ancestors to preserve her. They transform her solitary journey into a luminous spiritual odyssey, one that she'll need to bring strength when she extends to her destination. Listeners who've liked another of her Newbery Honor catalogs, The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm, know the wide range of creativeness and ability this award-winning writer brings to her work. Young listeners will gain a healthy value for the richness of social diversity even while they're realizing the universality of the real human experience.
