Description
In a remote village on the edge of the world, fourteen-year-old Isabel is pulled between the steady demands of family and the aching pull of something beyond her horizon. When a loved one’s fate hinges on a perilous journey, she must learn what it means to endure—watching, waiting, and choosing hope even as hardship closes in. Set against the lives of the world’s poor, the novel explores subsistence survival, displacement, and the quiet dignity of people who keep going with little more than faith and love. With Daniel Philippe Mason’s lyrical, emotionally precise storytelling, this bittersweet tale turns yearning into a form of courage, offering a compassionate look at how far devotion can travel.
