"This is a raw and pragmatic story book of ruminations in English and Tongan. It is not a critique of where I have been or of those I have been lucky to meet. It is not a literary work demonstrating poetic acumen. It is merely a chronicle of the thought flashes in response to life situations. There are just snippets of the demons and angels that keep this overseas student learning from day to day without being absorbed into host norms while in diaspora. It's the fluctuations to stay afloat and faithful to one's birth and heritage. They have been recorded between books, laughter, and tears. Some of the experiences were frustrating and some choices tormenting. But in the end, there were always challenges, learning and good times."--Back cover.
