Part memoir, part essay and part survival manual, it deconstructs the notions of \"home\" and \"heart\" and chronicles the author's quest to bring the two together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author weaves episodes of injustice, rebellion and awakening, which span several decades. Her remembrances, offered at first through the lens of a scientist, lead the reader to profound reflections on the importance of cultural exchanges. We are reminded that people who leave their homeland by choice or by necessity bring a unique perspective that is so important for social change. Finally, a powerful lesson: sometimes defeat can be a better teacher than success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a tale for the present and the future, one that transgresses the cultural zeitgeist and geographical boundaries. It is a coming-of-middle-age story for Generation X and all other generations who are on the path of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrained as a Biophysicist, \u003cstrong\u003eIleana Stoica\u003c\/strong\u003e obtained her PhD from Cornell University, USA.
