Patrice Hillman - the primary love-interest in the Ascension: Unspoken Book Series, is the wife of Tyshawn Hillman and represents the physical manifestations of the ancient Yoruba deity “Orisha”, “Oba” or “Tayewo-Oba” (associated to first-born of twins).
Tyshawn, himself endowed with the physical embodiment of “Shango” or ”Sango” the God of Lightening & Thunder, provides the common emotional Venus vs. Mars comparison in the husband-wife human condition.
But its their human characteristics and their emerging deity properties, which show Patrice and Tyshawn how closely their biology follows the Yorubaland (modern-day Nigeria) traditions; especially their association to Yoruba twin birth-rate. Yoruba maintains the worlds largest twin birth rate, producing 90–100 twins per 1,000 (live) births.
Through a chance encounter, Patrice unexpectedly uncovers this miraculous dual birth miracle is attributed to a high consumption of a divine herb containing a natural phytoestrogen which stimulate the body to release an egg from each ovary during the conception cycle.
In their friend or foe relationships, Patrice and the characters of Ascension continue their search for the origin of their heritage, and the meaning to their unexplained gravity to each other as well as to the watery tomb of their ancestors, in their pursuit of Tyshawn’s Father - the “King of Glory”.
