Morse’s literary novel is set in the year 2018, when children began to be separated from their parents at the southern border of the United States.

“In Washington, D.C., the Attorney General of the U.S. sets in motion a new immigration policy called ‘Zero Tolerance,’” Morse said. “And by the hundreds, families are torn apart. Children lose their parents and parents are not told where their precious ones have been taken.”
