In a world where distance is increasingly measured in hours, finding friendship, work and a place to call home has never been harder for the young professionals of the generation of our time. This is a story about that change and places between generations. In the beautiful islands of St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the South Caribbean Sea, Luke is born to Sylvia Hanson and a father he never met. Luke grew up amongst the care of his grandmothers and a childless couple in his home village of Fancy. Along the path of his education Luke encounters Clarissa first in high school, and later Rachel in England where he went to medical school. Clarissa was the extrovert; beautiful and articulate and who by nature gravitated to law school. Rachel on the other hand was charming and introspective and who was searching for more than a career in her life. Schooled in anthropology she wanted to understand the places she belonged to at a deeper level. Faced with a world of economic turmoil and social and technological change, the three young people are torn within themselves between the competing desires for having a career, love, tradition and the longing for their homeland. As they launch themselves out on their own into the world they came to question the nature of destiny and change and to know that home is where the heart truly lives.
