How to Live Free in a Dangerous World

"When you travel, it changes everything you know. This essay collection takes the reader to post-Mugabe Zimbabwe, a refugee asylum in the Netherlands and foraging in the mist in Bermuda. Each chapter has a new location and theme, from privilege to intimacy to liberation, that explore the truths and contradictions that we discover in new places. At times, the author’s stream-of-consciousness writing style can be difficult to follow, but many essays are evocative and thoughtful. This is a memoir to read slowly, one chapter before bedtime, to let it all sink in."
