American dirt. Jeanine Cummins. 2021.

Yesterday, Lydia had a bookshop.

Yesterday, Lydia was married to a journalist.

Yesterday, she was with everyone she loved most in the world.

Today, her eight-year-old son Luca is all she had left.

For him, she will carry a machete strapped to her lag. For him, she will leap onto the roof of a high-speed train.

For him, she will find the strength to keep running.
