Overview

A stirring collection of anecdotes by three writers looking back over the years, recording their experiences in their native land and as immigrants abroad. These stories cover times of conflict and stability, growing up and in maturity, in sometimes humorous, but always in an honest manner that readers will relate to with a yearning and nostalgia to which every expat can relate.
