Gurney doesn't want to get involved with politics. She's raising her son in a nice safe place, starting to feel like an American again. But her mother is still struggling to survive in Burma. The father of her son is trapped in Burma too. Fighting a brutal dictatorship, they need her help. Gurney doesn't want to be an activist. She doesn't want to involve her American family in all the trouble she left behind in Burma. But she had to do something. Engaging prose reveals the intimate, permanent effects of politics on families as well as the ways in which individuals chip away at a massive system of oppression, dreaming of freedom, and achieving inner peace. -- Edith Mirante, author of Burmese Looking Glass and Down the Rat Hole An earlier version of this novel was awarded the OMNI International Peacewriting Prize for Fiction. 10% of all proceeds donated to freeburmarangers.org http: //youtu.be/lKm4zbCoEdo
