In an alternate history in which the French never surrendered Detroit, children protect their own kingdom in the trees.
A richly imagined story of community and a plea for persistence in the face of our uncertain future, The Future is a lyrical testament to the power we hold to protect the people and places we love--together..
When a strange intuition sends Gloria into the woods of Parc Rouge, where the city\'s orphaned and abandoned children are rumored to have created their own society, she can\'t imagine the strength she will find.
But the neighbours take pity on her and she turns to their resilience and impressive gardens for sustenance.
When Gloria arrives looking for answers and her missing granddaughters, at first she finds only a hungry mouse in the derelict home where her daughter was murdered.
Its residents deal with pollution, poverty, and the legacy of racism--and strange and magical things are happening: children rule over their own kingdom in the trees and burned houses regenerate themselves.
In an alternate history of Detroit, the Motor City was never surrendered to the US.
