The world is finished, and the world needs to be reborn. And a lucky young boy gets to go on a journey with his family.
"There's a big full Moon tonight, and the air is already cool. I can see my breath in front of me. I'm carrying my suitcase with two hands, and Mom is in front of me. She's got two big suitcases -- almost more than she can lift -- and Dad is wearing his backpack and holding a cardboard box in his arms. I can hear him behind me. He's telling my sisters to hurry, please. His voice is soft but not soft. I don't know this voice. We're walking between long rows of greenhouses, moving farther and farther from our house."
