In this vividly written memoir, Judith describes what happens when she and her husband struggle to restore newly-purchased New Zealand land to native forest. It quickly becomes a spiritual as well as ecological task-and proves far more difficult than she ever anticipated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a rare meeting of the Afro-Cuban Lucumi and Aotearoa Māori cultures, Judith uses skills learned as a student of Orisha divination and mediumship to delve into the tragic events that historically impacted the land as she seeks a way to heal it.
