The book is an autobiography of a transgender woman from Sri Lanka who migrated to Germany.
"During those days in Malaysia, I asked myself a thousand questions about my life. In Malaysia, I saw transsexuals who became sex workers at a young age and ended up orphaned on the streets in their old age. I saw Shilab Patti in Europe who was living like a mental patient.
Transgender women living in India without any basic rights and forced to live in hiding in Jaffna have taught me a lesson. Although I was born in Elam, the land I grew up in is Germany. It is in my hand whether I bear fruit or fall. If I don't have long roots, I will fall."
