Alex learned to travel light, to not accumulate too many possessions or hold onto things strongly. He grew up without experiencing the emotions other kids – children with roots – seemed to take for granted: the joys and sorrows of long-term friendships; the confusion and significance of social cliques and their endless minute adjustments; enduring hardship with peers that could forge bonds as strong as any, and stronger than most.
