From the palm-fringed beaches of a small island colony to the daily slaughter of a helicopter war on the far side of the world, to the brightly lit conference rooms of one of the world's most admired corporations, to the surprising power of a Chopin recital, the author seeks out hidden connections between key events in his life, taking the reader on a tour of some remarkable sights along his journey through the human psyche: Physical abuse at primary school set against a harmonious multicultural upbringing; career opportunities in the US Army offset by the shock of racism such as the casual celebration by white colleagues of Martin Luther King's murder; the tragic loss of friends and equally painful personal loss of love as casualties of a war in Vietnam that seemed to reveal the limits of superpower. Will he find success and happiness in the troubled American society he struggles to understand, or does he understand it too well to ever feel at home here?
