Before I left my hometown, I received desperate word from an acquaintance insisting I not go to the farm in which I was intending to go. This farm, which is the pinnacle of my journey, isn’t even a real farm, she said. This farm, which symbolized a new freedom, an outreach for knowledge and advancement, a life refreshed by the corest of values found in my deepest genealogical roots…was run by a fascist, she said: a womanizing fascist, no less.
