Summary note

"From her childhoom home near Ferguson, Missouri, to her travels as an expatriate living in Asia, to the troubled cities of Eastern Europe, Baker explores the physical and emotional wanderings of what Mary McCarthy calls 'exiles, expatriates, and internal emigres.' Using photos, literature, and her own family's slave-owning history, Baker excavates her past as well as Chattanooga's to try and understand the ghosts that haunt her and the city she inhabits."--Page [4] of cover.
