Telling the story of the author's time living with a Kazakh family
in a small village in western Mongolia, this book contextualizes
the family's personal stories within the broader history of the
region. It looks at the position of the Kazakh over time in
relation to Tsarist Russian, Soviet, Chinese and Mongolian rule and
influence. These are stories of migration across generations, bride
kidnappings and marriage, domestic violence and alcoholism,
adoption and family, and how people have coped in the face of
political and economic crisis, poverty and loss, and, perhaps most
enduringly, how love and family persist through all of this.
