      A young man and his family embark on a perilous voyage across a devastated planet to uncover the origins of the catastrophic events that altered their world. Kweku Ashworth, born on a sailboat as his parents fled destruction, has only his step-father's manuscript, The Forcing, to connect him to the past. However, significant gaps remain, as his mother, now old and frail, refuses to discuss the events that shaped their lives even thirty years later. When Kweku uncovers evidence of his mother's attempts to conceal the truth and finds an account linked to those responsible for the climate catastrophe, he realizes he must seek answers. Determined to learn about his mother's harrowing escape from a concentration camp and their journey across the globe, Kweku and his family set sail into danger. Their quest for truth will test their faith in humanity and their will to survive. This gripping prequel explores themes of survival, hope, and the resilience of the human spirit in a world ravaged by climate change.
