The Way of the Ancestors
After hitchhiking for eight months through sub-Saharan Africa, Rebecca, a Jewish Canadian living in newly post-apartheid South Africa with her South African fiancée, suffers mysterious illnesses that no doctor can cure. A Sangoma throws the bones and reveals that Rebecca will only be well by answering the calling to heal.
In 1997 she moved to Soweto to face the apprenticeship process and trained to be a healer and was an anomaly at the time because of her whiteness. She becomes a prominent healer, researcher and advocate for traditional healing and medicine and works in some of the hardest-hit HIV/AIDS governmental clinics at the peak of the crisis.
Moving to Botswana to assist with the national HIV/AIDS strategy as a consultant and community-based organizer, Rebecca continues her study of herbal medicine in a male-dominated sphere.
Returning to Canada, she upholds traditional South African healing practices in a small town in Ontario only to battle postpartum depression. Rebecca breaks down from childhood memories of sexual assault and finds help and solace in Indigenous healing ceremonies.
This novel is about more than one woman's journey of being called to become a healer. Rebecca also embodies ancestors who “write through her” and share their timeless wisdom through extraordinary multi-narratives.
