My Mother in Havana
A Memoir of Magic & Miracle
- 2025 INDIES Finalist
- Finalist, Autobiography & Memoir (Adult Nonfiction)
Writing with a physicality of language that moves like the body in dance, Rebe Huntman embarks on a pilgrimage into the mysteries of the gods and saints of Cuba and their larger spiritual view of the Mother. Huntman offers a window into the extraordinary world of Afro-Cuban gods and ghosts and the dances and rituals that call them forth. As she explores the memory of her own mother, Huntman leads us into a world of séance, sacrifice, pilgrimage, sacred dance, and to a larger version of herself.
