Title: A travelogue of physical experience and emotional discovery.
Product review: The author's flowing prose style transports the reader on a journey across continents, across time and across the human experience. With epicenters on opposite sides of the globe, we take a fluid, sensory and introspective tour of places, people and forces ranging from childhood experiences in the working class side of Des Moines, Iowa to the isolation of a foreign educator in Changchun, China in the "emerging" early 80's. Throughout the books wonderful "itinerary" we continue to find that the shortest distance between all of its varied points remains the line between our hearts. Upon completion we find that the definition of our common neighborhood must be revised to hold the dissonance of being both utterly more encompassing and unimaginably more intimate than we might once have innocently believed.
