Dawson is fluent in Ketanus indigenous language, so hes the right man for the job, but the local police are less than thrilled with an outsiders interference. For Dawson, this sleepy corner of Ghana is rife with emotional land mines: an estranged relationship with the family he left behind twentyfive years earlier and the painful memory of his own mothers inexplicable disappearance. Armed with remarkable insight and a healthy dose of skepticism, Dawson soon finds his cosmopolitan sensibilities clashing with ageold customs, including a disturbing practice in which teenage girls are offered to fetish priests as trokosi, or Wives of the Gods.
