In this lyrical and profound (Dr. Resmaa Menakem, New York Times bestselling author) companion to the spellbinding (Harper's Bazaar) Shallow Waters, Oya--the Yoruban deity of the weather--is brought to life during 1870s America.

Born in Cuba after her mother Yemaya's adventures in the New World, Oya has inherited otherworldly powers from her Yoruba Orisha lineage. While Yemaya is known for her healing abilities, Oya's influence over the storm proves to be destructive, posing a threat to her mother and the island's safety.

Sent to New Orleans to study under Marie Laveau, the Queen of Voodoo, Oya begins a journey across the still young America, encountering a myriad of historical figures, including Mary Ellen Pleasant, Jesse James, Lew Hing, and more.

As Oya navigates the landscapes of racism, colorism, and classism, she grapples with her own identity and powers, striving to find her place in a fraught and complex society. A moving, vivid exploration of resilience, heritage, and the enduring spirit of a young woman coming into her own, The Wind on Her Tongue is a magical story that you will keep close for a long time to come and read many, many times over (Sherry Sidoti, author of A Smoke and a Song).
