When Sindi decides that she will break from the stereotype of her background
as a girl brought up around cattle, she plunges into a whole new
world. The sea is too vast, the oceans too wide, and fishing skills in
short supply. Yet she is determined to fish the oceans and challenge
horizons. First she has to seek knowledge from those who know, skills
from those who practice it, and then try,try, try. But even then, she
has to go through a mysterious maze. She has to do the Lion dance, and
she has to bear witness to the earth dance.
She is not finished yet. In a surreal encounter with the African
grey tweeting parrot, and the amicable fat cat, she becomes fortified to
continue her quest.
She encounters Mendala, Ghandia, and Nongse and becomes transformed. She
is more determined not to give up on the dying Lion fish which had
become her travel companion and mentor.
In a pulsating race to the Scottburgh beach against time, Sindi is
ushered into a brave new world. And her life would never be the same.
