A memoire that reads like a novel. @ @Company solicitor of a multinational company, but an inept father, Daniel van Dam has made grave mistakes in the education of his children, marriage after marriage. After he has moved to New Zealand, the question of whether we are here with a purpose, or like seeds in the wind, not knowing who we are and where we are going, keeps coming back to him. Sometimes he thinks he is close to finding the answer and then the idea fades away again and with it another illusion. That changes when Daniel van Dam becomes administrator of a Steiner School for poor black children in Kenya
