The farm is going to be taken over by the government ..."Maureen Sneddon Barnard escapes a night of slaughter by the Mau Mau in Kenya. Then she is forced off her farm in Zimbabwe. She leaves with a precious possession, a little brown suitcase with diaries of many years and newspaper clippings that bear witness to a life of courage and tenacity, dreams, losses and loves. She has known a magnificent Africa, but also its dark side, always aware of her impermanence and the winds of Africa that will blow away the traces of her being there.
