The ledger said otherwise.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorgia, 1865. Moe Strider was fourteen when he learned to read: first words, then ledgers, and finally the fine print that freedom was written in. What the proclamation left his family was a contract built to keep them owing, and a harvest they worked but somehow could not own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo the Striders turn west, chasing the land America promised families like theirs. The road carries them through night riders, river crossings, a pueblo that shelters them at a price, desert hunger, and the hard arithmetic of survival. Moe reads it all the way down: the contracts, the tally books, the promises with a column hidden inside them. But every promised land has its own ledger, and California is no exception.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat waits at the end of the road forces the question no one wants to ask: what if the design can't be escaped from inside the frame?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold by Moe's sister Miri, keeper of the family's record, The Far Shore is a literary odyssey about belonging, memory, and the distance between being freed and being free.
