Publisher's description:

Sepha Stephanos fled the Ethiopian revolution after his father was killed. His life now is quiet, as he spends his days serving the few customers he has in his general store in a rundown Washington, DC neighbourhood. This book presents the story of his longing for the American dream and of the tenacious grip of the past across continents and time.
