Note from Author: This book was born as I was walking along the seaside of an Aegean island. Artists, authors, poets, performers, children, architects, educators, a composer, a curator, a psychiatrist, a nun, a nurse, a theatre director and a librarian generously shared their homecomings, making their own contribution to the book. People I met in different places, at different times, came together.
