More about the book

Navigating a quarter-life crisis, Alicia, a young Black woman, embarks on a mythical quest in Toronto after being visited by the Jamaican water deity, River Mumma. Tasked with finding a missing comb within twenty-four hours, she teams up with her co-workers Heaven and Mars, facing malevolent spirits known as duppies. The journey not only challenges her understanding of folklore but also deepens her connections to her diasporic community and ancestral roots. This vibrant contemporary fantasy weaves humor and heart into a tale of self-discovery and cultural heritage.
