About This Book
A fugitive family — a man, his wife, and their sleeping child — flees across a border to escape political pursuit, confronting a patrol whose attempt at arrest is thwarted by intervening strangers. The plot follows their precarious journey and the tense moments of danger at the frontier, then turns inward to the couple's anguished debates about sacrifice and separation for the child's future. Compact scenes of flight, confrontation, and quiet domestic sorrow examine themes of exile, duty, and compassion, portraying how personal love and political conviction collide in a brief, emotionally charged narrative.
