The memoir explores the urgent need to preserve a dying language and culture, rooted in Samantha's Iraqi-Jewish heritage. As she grapples with the loss of her mother tongue and the implications for her son's connection to his roots, she embarks on a journey filled with rich cultural symbols and personal anecdotes. From the vibrancy of Judeo-Iraqi Arabic to the soothing spaces of museums, Samantha reflects on the balance between holding onto traditions and the necessity of letting go. Ultimately, it’s a celebration of resilience, healing, and the power of shared stories.
