What if happiness isn't about being safe?

In 2053, a massive concrete wall divides the United States. Thirteen-year-old Sophie Johnson lives a safe, if boring, existence with her grandmother on the Confederated Cities side, a society founded on biblical principles.

Then she witnesses the arrest and escape of a strange man in the park and meets Miguel, a new boy at school who's moved to Fremont City from Seattle -- on the other side of the wall -- and she begins to question everything she's been told. Her curiosity further piqued by information she learns about her parents' past, she's determined to find answers.
