Naimah By The Sea by A.R. Bey is a fictional story, which has been ongoing since 2012. Bey's title centers on magical realism through the African Orishas she has known. From the heavens, the Orishas dwelled as goddesses and gods for thousands of years, manifesting life, divination and wealth on earth. Many have known their presence and great magic in West Africa, the Caribbeans, South America and beyond. Elegba, Oshun, Oba and Oya were more than ancestors. Shango, Ogun and Orula were not serpents. Yemanjá, Olokun and Obatala were beyond mermaids. The Orishas knew the mysteries of prophecy. A greater spirit would come through the heavens and earth known as Naimah de Sousa, born August 7, 1976, in the village of El Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Her magical story about life, death and rebirth can be a cruel phenomena, but is an absolute captivating novel for teenaged and adult readers.
