The author realizes that she is the same age as Osama Bin Laden.
She is an ordinary person trapped in a quagmire of unsettling
feelings. As the world events spin out of control, she is compelled
to explore the geopolitical intersection of her life story. She
waltzes through the dances of her choreography; from the North
Atlantic to the South Pacific; from Canada to Saudi Arabia; from
America to Europe. She merges people and places across the globe as
she stumbles through the choices of her life across the context of
her generation. The book is political and human; outgoing and
introspective; opinionated and probing; complex and simple. The
reader is challenged by a female, intuitive, and compelling voice;
screaming from deep in her soul. She traces and probes the politics
and the dynamics of the past fifty years across places that she has
dared to tread. The telling of the tale recounts small, common,
every day relationships. It follows a young girl out of
Newfoundland, across Canada, through the South Pacific, to Saudi
Arabia and the Red Sea coast, to America, through Europe, and back
to America. She gives a voice to the stories of ordinary, middle
class workers, who came of age with her, in the different places of
her life story. She speaks of trust and truth. She is awed by
simple things and troubled by leaders who offer answers without
query. This is a book about the clash of cultures and the
commonality of our humanity. A mother's voice speaks of possibility
and reality. She breaks it down to the small cry of a child, to the
thunderous roar of a million children. If only we dare to tread, to
follow the bleeding foot steps of the children, across the
whispering sands of a calmdesert morning; to dare to tread, before
the howling winds blow through, and the landscape shifts.
