He makes new friends and soon begins to understand that everyone here has their own secrets. A common past bound people together more tightly than blood kinship. Takhti finds himself drawn into a story that began many years ago. Everything in it is connected and confused. And the ripples are still going on. This is a story about friendship. About acceptance, forgiveness, loss, fears, kindness and love. It is about the people we consider family and the place we call home.
