(2) YA Khosi Zulu is fourteen, living in a township in South Africa. When her mother comes down with a wasting disease (is it AIDS? tuberculosis? a witch's curse?), Khosi seeks the help of a sangoma, a traditional healer. With extensive research into life in South Africa, Powers delivers a first-person narrative from a South African girl that has many hallmarks of authenticity.
