The Survival of Kindness
“After the loss of reason comes...”
Synopsis
In a cage on a trailer in the middle of the desert, BlackWoman is abandoned, left to die. But BlackWoman seems not ready. She escapes, journeying through pestilence and persecution, from desert to mountain and finally to city, on a quest for an unknown beginning. But the city is more uncertain even than the desert, and recaptured, BlackWoman must find another escape. Or does she?
