Through a collection of philosophical anecdotes, Fargan shares personal memories ranging from her childhood in Morocco to her experiences in the Netherlands.

Fargan depicts the tension between the modern desire for absolute answers and the human tendency to seek meaning through superstition or personal spiritual pursuits.
