This book takes you almost everywhere. To Hippo Hole where large beasts snort and babies dive off their mothers’ backs and to the floor of a hostel during a military coup while bombs fall from the sky and machine guns rattle outside. You’ll eat injera in Ethiopia, ugali in Kenya, lahmacun in Turkey, peaches in Virginia, and Lebanon baloney in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. You’ll beat trees with broom sticks until green and black olives rain down on you. And you’ll be evicted from a country. As you read, you’ll feel strangeness wash over you, again and again. And with Jewel, you’ll share the aching for home that lives in all of us. Finding Home will help you understand not only its author, but also yourself and your longing for a place to belong.
