A daughterÂ’s search for her deceased mother brings her face to face with the gods, ghosts, and saints of Cuba.Â

Â“My Mother in HavanaÂ liftsÂ the veil between the living and the dead and makes believers of us all. This story of a mother''s absence and a daughter''s need is written with a lyricism that filled my heart with beauty while also making it ache for loved ones lost. This is a stunning debut.Â”Â Â—LeeÂ Martin, author of the Pulitzer Prize Finalist, The Bright Forever

Â“I closed this book believing more than ever that the people we love, including the people weÂ’veÂ been, never really leave us.Â”Â Â—Maggie Smith, New York TimesÂ bestselling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful

Writing with a physicality of language that moves like the body in dance, Rebe Huntman, a poet, choreographer, and dancer, 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, interlacing it with her search for the sacred feminine, Huntman leads us into a world of sÃ©ance and sacrifice, pilgrimage and sacred dance, which resurrect her mother and bring Huntman face to face with a larger version of herself.
