Description: Its the early 1960s. Tanganyika is now Tanzania after centuries of British rule. And a six year old girl of Indian descent is uprooted from her family home in Tukuyu when her father is diagnosed with cancer. She leaves the familiar tall grasses of her southern highland home town for the dust and thorny trees of Dodoma to live at her grandparents flourmill, and the girl's ideas about home, belonging, and identity begin to crumble.
