About this book
On a futuristic colony, construction worker Toni V uncovers a battered diary hidden beneath the rubble of a demolition site. The notebook belongs to Pelly D, a teenage girl whose life has been shattered by a catastrophic apocalypse, and it chronicles her struggles, loss, and resilience. As Toni reads the secret entries, he begins to question the loyalties and assumptions that have kept his own existence stable. The narrative interweaves two perspectives to show how personal memories can challenge the rules of a harsh, future society.
