Was it a dream? Her vision as she stood by that African river, and as she searched through the universe for the love of her soul that she'd left on a Donegal strand?

It is deeply also deeply inspired by the sounds and rhythms of African and Irish story-telling and Ruth's childhood in the magical spheres of Celtic Ireland.
