In an alternate history in which the French never surrendered
Detroit, children protect their own kingdom in the trees. In an
alternate history of Detroit, the Motor City was never surrendered
to the US. Its residents deal with pollution, poverty, and the
legacy of racism—and strange and magical things are happening:
children rule over their own kingdom in the trees and burned houses
regenerate themselves. When Gloria arrives looking for answers and
her missing granddaughters, at first she finds only a hungry mouse
in the derelict home where her daughter was murdered. But the
neighbours take pity on her and she turns to their resilience and
impressive gardens for sustenance. When a strange intuition sends
Gloria into the woods of Parc Rouge, where the city’s orphaned
and abandoned children are rumored to have created their own
society, she can’t imagine the strength she will find. A richly
imagined story of community and a plea for persistence in the face
of our uncertain future, The Future is a lyrical testament to the
power we hold to protect the people and places we love—together.
