The author collected the stories for over two years through a "call for stories" she put in journals, workshops and lectures. Interwoven throughout, Barbara and her son share their own story of pain and struggle.

Why do we, as humans, believe what we believe? How do we make sense of our history, our politics, of the world today and our place in it?
