A home is what everyone desires - a place to truly belong, to be yourself, a shelter from the world, a place of certainty. Here in this collection of fourteen short stories, by a master story teller from Aotearoa, find people (and one dog) struggling to carve out a place for themselves. Meet Tokerau torn between her family history and her modern reality, Hoani and Pati seeking out Jerusalem, Nanny Paora trying to preserve her slice of land from the clutches of the Government and Mae who needs to know if she can say her home is truly hers. These are tales of laughter, fear, heartache with a gritty authenticity.
