It is 2125 and life as Rose previously knew it is over. Having
been forced to live in a government-controlled society that, for
years, has sponsored the use of people-not the enhancement of
creativity, inspiration, and universal growth-Rose is prepared to
escape the social disaster that has robbed her of her dreams. When
she finally departs for a cabin in the hills far above San
Francisco, she walks away from everything she has ever known.
Rose adjusts to her new environment far away from the city by
relying on her inner strength and her memories of her old life.
With little food or water, she must forage for a place to sleep
every night. As her challenging trek through the wilderness
continues, Rose gloomily recalls the chain of events that
instigated her journey to freedom. She must fight through the
bitterness she feels for having been forced to give up her
doctorate and instead work in demeaning government jobs because of
society's greed, selfishness, and injustice.
A Long Walk to Knowing shares one woman's journey to discover
her own humanity as she slowly learns to endure a new way of
life.
