This collection of short stories and essays is an exploration of whimsy and wisdom that take the reader from the basement of a young girl learning about the Holocaust via a repairman, to a literal and psychological deep dive in the Caribbean, to the humble truths of a dung beetle in Africa, and all points in between. The author's keen perception and compassion light the way, and she mixes truth with imagination to paint a larger view on life. The essays and stories are arranged thematically by life stages: seeker, childhood moments, maturing, a-musings, and travels.
