The opening of the book sets a deeply introspective tone, as the author expresses her intention to document her memories and thoughts, originally for the sake of her children. Readers are invited to journey through significant moments from her childhood, home, and the larger community with rich, emotional descriptions of places and people now faded by time. Hanna reflects on the bittersweet nature of memories, balancing joy and sadness as she revisits her past, revealing her deep connections to family and the experiences that shaped her life.
