I have laughed, cried and talked things over in my head while reading Hemming’s extraordinary collection of Scatterlings. She carefully treads through the complex nature of our beloved land, and the mixed-up feelings so many expats feel. She puts into words emotions that come from deep within and journeys through the profound effects of saying goodbye to one’s home. Full of hope and appreciation for our new lands, Scattlerings is a therapeutic journey for anyone smart enough to read it. Eloquent and poetic, yet real and useful . . . Remarkable how someone else’s story can be so healing. -Kerry Engelbrecht
