First sentence: My life has followed a strangely directed path, and its documentation has become the story of a spiritual journey, one that took a whole lifetime.
Description: Edie and Victor Turner were among the most influential researchers in the 20th century.

These memoirs are a testimony to a remarkable partnership and to Edie Turner's own achievements after Victor's death.
