Summary
A little girl growing up in Rhodesia dreams of getting an education, something that is nearly impossible. When she becomes a young wife and mother, she writes her goals on a scrap of paper and buries it in a can--an ancient ritual that reminds her that she couldn't give up on her dreams. Will they ever come true?
