by Lloyd Jones
A nameless woman moves through a world of strangers who see only what they want to see. A truck driver mistakes her intentions. An old man becomes her victim. Hunters help her slip across borders in exchange for payment. She takes another woman's identity, while a wife chooses not to notice what happens under her roof. Each encounter brings her closer to or further from her goal. The woman pushes forward through deception and desperation. Her child waits somewhere ahead. Every choice she makes carries the weight of a mother's love and the cost of survival. This is her journey across a landscape where human connection comes wrapped in misunderstanding and moral compromise.
