Wandering Swallow by Milico Mathers

Enter a world where freedom is a distant dream and survival is a daily battle.

Hana and her grandfather’s escape from famine-ravaged North Korea leads them on a perilous journey through China, where every step could mean the difference between life and death.

In 1995, Hana and her grandfather flee North Korea, devastated by the famine that has claimed a million lives. Their dangerous journey through China is fraught with the risk of capture and deportation, with the looming threat of China regaining control of Hong Kong adding urgency to their escape.

Guided by a Tiananmen Square massacre survivor, they traverse China from Dandong to Hong Kong, facing immense challenges and discovering profound truths about freedom and faith.
