According to the author: "When a social order is overthrown and almost an entire class of people displaced and made homeless, materially and spiritually, it takes a long time for life to absorb them and take care of them. By telling what happened to me and to those who formed part of my environment during the first period of exile, I hope to point out some of the problems which confronted us and the manner in which we met them."
