I found this book by doing a search for women and sailing, and quickly found that, while it has nothing to do with sailing on the ocean (at least not so far), it's the story of a woman's introduction to Orisha worship, another topic of interest to me. (In fact, I wonder if the ile, or house, of Orisha practitioners that she talks about in Oakland is the one I've been to.)
It's also the story of Thompson's troubled family, and of taking care of her mother as she slips further into Alzheimers.
I could see where some people might see this as two books in one, but I loved it. Some profound insights into the gods and spirit.
