About the Book
In a self-sufficient gated community of the near future, the rich can afford their own security force,
amenities, and entertainment. They can isolate and insulate their children, keeping them ignorant of the
violence, poverty, and pain that exist outside their walls. When someone from inside escapes and
interacts with the "real world", deep philosophical lessons are learned: When do we fight for change and
when do we accept our conditions? How do we achieve happiness for ourselves and our children?
