Publisher's Synopsis
'At least once a week when I was a kid my mother would send me to the shops to get things she had forgotten or had run out of. "Stay off the road Lovemore!" Those were always the last words I heard.' 25 years later. 'It had been raining so we didn't bother to put on our shoes and just walked barefoot, we were sleeping when we heard a knock on the door. It was the police. They had followed our footprints.' This is the story of one man's encounters in the Diaspora. A journey to the unknown made from necessity, not choice, to save his family from the collapse of Zimbabwe.
