Prologue
The four year old boy stirs in the backseat of the station wagon, his body little more than a bump beneath the blanket draped over him, his hip sore where the seat belt's buckle presses into it. He sits up, rubbing his eyes in the morning light, and looks around, confused. He swallows to wet his parched throat, "Where..where's Momma?"
His father take a wheezy breath and half turns, a day's worth of stubble darkening his cheek. "She's not....she can't...she's not here."
