Honi Tropau takes us on one woman's journey into the past-the "yesterday" when a 12-year old Hungarian girl trekked across a continent to realize her fantasy of America and Honi's own inner voyage of self-discovery. She had always been haunted by the notion that a thread of continuity unites generation to generation, that as we seek to know our forebears, we discover ourselves. In a chaotic world, we finally come to know who we are-not alone in a mindless universe but a part of a family, the family that Honi remembers survived.
