Fourteen years after fleeing Kenya with her baby daughter, Corinne returned in the summer of 2004 to meet Lketinga and his family again in their village, Barsaloi. Nervous as she was, and uncertain as to how he would react on seeing her again, she found to her relief that she was welcomed unreservedly by all those who remembered her - by Lketinga, who still thought of her as his 'wife number one', by his brother, James, now a schoolteacher and especially by Lketinga's mother, who had looked after Corinne with such care all those years before. Corinne Hofmann revisits an area of a country which she cares about passionately, describing in her immensely readable style the changes she saw after her time away, and once again bringing to life the atmosphere and characters in the Masai village.

Corinnes tredje bok är fortsättningen hur det gick för folket i massajbyn. Här besöker hon sin familj och det är intressant att se hur livet har förändrats i den lilla byn. Boken är bitvis seg och slutet är mer som en utfyllnad. Det är dock intressant att se hur hon bemöts av sin familj och speciellt Lektinga. Corrinnes detaljrika språk gör att skildringen känns levande och detta är trots allt en bok att rekommendera.
