A true story. A dying wife invokes an ancient tradition of the church in Europe, naming her "replacement" before she dies. This is no ordinary replacement, but a rural African woman of royal descent. Her clan, too, has ancient traditions. The author finds himself cold starting an arranged marriage by African custom. A heart-warming, tumultuous tale. 120+ FULL COLOUR PHOTOGRAPHS IN THIS EDITION.
