Haben absorbed her parents' harrowing experiences during Eritrea's thirty-year war with Ethiopia and their refugee story inspired her to embark on a quest for knowledge, traveling the world in search of the secret to belonging.

She takes readers through a thrilling game of blind hide-and-seek in Louisiana, a treacherous climb up an iceberg in Alaska, and a magical moment with President Obama at The White House. She defines disability as an opportunity for innovation. Haben learned non-visual techniques for everything from dancing salsa to handling an electric saw. Warm, funny, thoughtful, and uplifting, this captivating memoir is a testament to one woman's determination to find the keys to connection.
