This travel narrative is a lively account of anthropologist Jean Davison's return to her home in the Mt. Kenya foothills to discover how the lives of Gikuyu farmers she has personally followed
for twenty years have changed in the last decade. In addition to a historic change in the government and the impact of globalization on her friends' coffee and tea production, she learns about
the passing of close friends, about the impact of the digital divide on the next generation, and how they are coping with AIDS and terrorist attacks. Her story is inspiring in showing how
friendships grow across cultures and continents.
