Write a review
In these essays, poet Naomi Shihab Nye travels the world at an observant pace, talking to strangers and introducing readers to an endearing assemblage of eccentric neighbours, Filipina faith healers, dry-cleaning proprietors, and other quirky characters.
Potluck suppers with could-be relatives, junkets to exotic locales, and the importance of strangers in our lives.
