    A fascinating collection of stories following the journey of Maya Butalid, born in 1957 in Cebu City, Philippines. When studying at the University of the Philippines she became a Philippine political activist against the Marcos dictatorship. She was sent to the Netherlands to work as an activist from 1983-1993. Here she learnt Dutch and graduated from Tilburg University with a Master's in Psychology.

    Maya courageously tells of the challenges of living as a migrant in a foreign country, marriage and bringing up her Filipino daughters in the Netherlands and her various undertakings to help with the refugee crises around the world. She describes the beautiful and challenging walking routes of the Four Days Marches of Nijmegen to raise awareness and funds for refugees and her brave battle with cancer.

    Maya, to this day, is continuing with her efforts to contribute to the development of the Philippines.
