Dangers, both environmental and human, lurk at every turn as the pair battles hunger, hopelessness, and despair. Wheeling a shopping cart containing their meager possessions and dwindling stores of food, they use a tattered map to make their way south in search of warmth on a ravaged, rainy planet.
This terrifying, bleak reality serves as a menacing backdrop to the tender moments between father and son who explore their feelings of compassion, determination, resignation, and grief. Thank you to my dear friend Phil for introducing me to this author’s work.
