Spanning more than 30 years, see the world through the eyes of a United Nations child on her road to Somewhere. Though Violet tries hard to fashion the first home for herself that she has ever known, she finds that the past is intrusive and insistent. The countries of her childhood have a message to tell her.

In particular, she must grieve and express gratitude to the United Nations Peacekeeping soldier who saved her life during the Rwandan Genocide.'
