A provocative exploration of the thin wall that exists between myth and reality chronicles the alternating stories of two young women--Maja Carmen Carrerra, the daughter of a black Cuban couple living in England who longs for a connection to her African roots, and Yemaya Saramgua, a Yoruba goddess in the Somewherehouse--in search of the meaning of faith and identity.
