The pain remained wedded to her heart throughout the years. Could it be possible her son knew the whereabouts of his brother but was not telling, she thought.

Imagine a world without roads or any means of modern transportation, a world without any written language, schools or books, or even the notion that there could be anything interesting beyond the horizon. King'ele Muthembwa is born into such a world on the open savannah of Kenya, and early in his life becomes determined to change it. He is an independent thinker who refuses to kowtow to traditionally imposed limits and stubbornly pursues his vision of the future. During the long journey to the modern world, spanning a period of over ninety years, he borrows ideas from the recently arrived white missionaries and melds this knowledge with traditional wisdom to bring about far-reaching changes in his community. It is a journey fraught with pitfalls and his immediate family is not spared the strife and pain that follow.
