I believe most readers of this book, like myself, have spent their entire lives in a place that is not their ancestral home. We reside in a land where the majority are immigrants, and we only visit our homeland briefly once or twice a year. However, each return feels like embarking on a new adventure because we have changed since our last visit, and every homecoming brings us fresh experiences. This book celebrates the beauty of returning to a familiar place, even if it is a small village in a vast country. It is astonishing how much there is to discover, learn, and experience year after year. Each visit transforms us and allows us to return to our old stomping grounds with new stories to share and new adventures to embark upon. It is a continuous cycle of rediscovery and personal growth that makes every homecoming feel like a brand-new journey.
