A young girl who sees the writing on the wall and prepares for the collapse of her home in a dystopian world. She survives her home and family being destroyed and goes north to hope for a paying job. On the way her kindness and understanding of God bring like minded people to her.
Moderate: Death, Racism, Rape, Slavery, Torture, Violence, Murder, and Classism
