HEAVENLY HANDS by Ricky J Martinez

£6.00

Unclearly exiled as a child, Dr. Mirta Martinez returns to her birth place, Cuba, to make sense of long overdue answers missing from her life. Although, now here, laying both her parents to rest, she’s faced with accepting their last dying wish of practicing modern medicine in an indigenous community. Concurrently, Clara De La Fuente, a young island diviner is granted a vision of her eldest brother, Santi, falling pray to darkness. Unsure where to turn, she succumbs to the trappings of Las Brujeras, black magic witches, who manipulate her blood for ill-doing. It will take both these women to believe in themselves and each other for the scales of life and death to balance.
