"Elaine was always on the move, not necessarily forward but sideways, up, across. She was a chess piece that made her own rules."

Elsewhere, Home is a reflective and emotional collection of short stories focusing on immigration. Alongside the diverse characters, you explore the deep feelings that come with immigration as well as the intricacies of identity and culture.
