Written in 2017, but more relevant now. Political power based on numbers and not people. A thriller about moral judgement and the strength of family and the individual to challenge authority. This is not a heavy political story but is focused on a mother's determination to save her family from a heartless government and a man that craves more power. A story of courage, something we all need now.
