Most people say wait it out. After all, President Kaspar isn’t as bad as expected. He’s banned fracking, improved medical care, even provided every American over eight with a free cell phone! So what if the number of news channels has shrunk to three, and no one can afford email anymore? Even when a health crisis in New York City shakes the country to its core and raises the specter of authoritarianism, President Kaspar explains it all calmly in his cardigan sweater. Most people say wait it out. New York City transplant Tessa lives in a leafy Portland, Oregon neighborhood with her husband Larry and teenage son Holden. They are 3,000 miles away, but that is too close for comfort. They can’t wait it out. They take a different path―one that will shatter their lives, their identities, and change the course of a nation.
