In an effort to save their communities, the group embarks on a perilous journey across post-apocalyptic North America to try and find a place of safety. Along the way, they discover an unlikely hope for the future – something that could reverse the damage done to the world. The novel focuses on themes of colonialism, cultural identity, and the power of resilience.
