A first-world Bostonian, Julia Chilton Brewer is madly in love with
William Brewer, a PhD candidate in art history fascinated with
primitive artifacts and Africa. On the evening of their wedding,
Julia and William set forth to Owerri, West Africa, beginning a
great adventure together.
As the newlyweds settle into their house in Owerri, William
immerses himself in his work researching local artifacts as Julia
helps the third-world women develop cottage industries and, through
her Bostonian associates, becomes a partner in creating a
cyberspace cafe. Meanwhile, with the local women guiding her, Julia
is introduced to traditional rituals and witnesses the African
women honoring the sacredness of Mamy Wata, their African diviner
depicted in sculpture form. When Mamy Wata becomes a target of art
thieves, the women begin an investigation to uncover the identity
of the smugglers and soon discover problems that will impact all of
their lives-and especially Julia's marriage.
As Julia is suddenly propelled into a journey that transports
her between two worlds filled with intrigue, treachery, and
betrayal, Mamy Wata may be the only force that can deliver a new
consciousness to everyone.
