A imagem de Santa Bárbara nunca havia saído da igreja matriz de Santo Amaro da Purificação. Mas, requisitada para figurar em uma exposição de arte religiosa, deixou o altar e empreendeu viagem até a cidade da Bahia. O saveiro Viajante sem Porto, conduzido por Mestre Manuel, adentrou a Bahia de Todos os Santos levando a santa católica. Destino da escultura: o Museu de Arte Sacra, onde o diretor, dom Maximiliano von Gruden, um frade alemão, programara exibi-la aos jornalistas e à população, orgulhoso do estudo que desenvolvera sobre a autoria da escultura. Para surpresa geral, ao chegar, Santa Bárbara se transmuta em Iansã, sobe a rampa do Mercado, toma o rumo do elevador Lacerda e some no meio do povo. Em Salvador, ela quer finalizar um trabalho iniciado meses antes, numa Quinta-feira do Bonfim, quando ajudara a jovem e formosa Manela na lavagem das escadarias da igreja. Agora, a divindade aproveita para livrar o espírito de Manela do controle da severa tia Adalgisa. Neste livro de humor contagiante e estilo primoroso, uma santa católica assume sua identidade do candomblé para ensinar aos que encontra pelo caminho o melhor da vida - a alegria e a tolerância -, em uma história que só poderia transcorrer na Bahia de Jorge Amado: lugar onde tudo se mistura e não há separação entre a virtude e o pecado, o bom-senso e o absurdo, a fé e a feitiçaria, a oferenda e o milagre.
