520 1 $a"These accounts plunge us into the lives of some of the people Sarah LeVine became close to on four continents. In a northern Nigerian town we find orthodox Muslims trying - and failing - to ignore the thriving spirit possession cult in their midst. In a Mexican city women struggling with their husbands' infidelity and the loss of children take the Virgin Mary as their role model. In the face of tragedy in a Kenyan village, tensions flare between traditionalists who live in dread of ancestral wrath and Christians who reject such beliefs. In affluent Hong Kong a Filipina maid enduring a long separation from her son turns for support to a charismatic Catholic church. And in Nepal LeVine accompanies the remarkable Saint of Kathmandu, who fled an arranged marriage and earned renown as a Buddhist nun and feminist leader, on a pilgrimage to holy places all across North India."--BOOK JACKET.
