Tawi is the sixth and unwanted daughter in her family. But that's not all - Tawi is different. Though she doesn't know it yet, her fate is tied to the Andean gods. As her family faces countless struggles in the shadow of the Peruvian mountains, Tawi finds strength in mother nature. Until, at last, her powers are revealed and she learns that being the black sheep of the family is both a blessing - and a curse. Set in historical Peru and told in the magical style of Isabel Allende, Tawi is the story of three generations who set in motion her journey to becoming a shaman. As the spunky sixth daughter, Tawi isn't your average little girl. Since birth, she's been marked by the Andean gods - though she doesn't know it yet. Frightened by her uncanny visions, Tawi finds solace in mother nature. Until tragedy strikes and Tawi can no longer hide from the truth of her powers. An ode to the Peruvian wild, women's lives and indigenous culture, Tawi is a collection of intertwined family stories. Every chapter offers a new glimpse into each generation - their trials, triumphs and misfortunes - and illuminates Tawi's journey to becoming a shaman.
