Overview
"In this thesis, the intricate tapestry of familial relationships and the pervasive presence of grief are interwoven with threads of humor and adventure. The Spencer family, shattered by the recent loss of their father, embarks on a transformative journey to South Africa, seeking solace and unity as a family. Amidst the breathtaking landscapes, the family endeavors to forge new bonds, allowing grief to be a catalyst for growth. As they grapple with the complexities of loss, life in Africa unfolds with unforeseen challenges, testing the resilience of their collective spirit. At the helm is Panda, the matriarch, faced with the delicate task of understanding and meeting each child's unique needs as they navigate the labyrinth of self-discovery. This narrative promises a compelling exploration of love, loss, and the intricate dance of family dynamics against the backdrop of a vibrant and unpredictable adventure." -- Abstract
