"Shortly after I moved back to Canada from Zimbabwe, I had a dream. I was going to visit friends who lived in a village about an hour’s drive away from Harare. I hadn’t seen them for some time and was looking forward to it very much, but had trouble finding transport. I wound up getting a lift with some Canadian soldiers—young men having a good time in an easy posting. It was a fun drive. We shared stories, laughed and joked and talked about home.
When we arrived at the village where my friends lived they heard the ve- hicle and came running out of their houses to greet me. I was so excited to see them and started to run toward them, but soon saw one of my friends stumble and fall, and then another. Blood was everywhere. I realized that the soldiers had opened fire and started shooting.
After some time I realized it was time to look more closely at this place called home." -- By Rebecca Garrett within the book jacket.
