FAR FROM THE WAR is the story of a girl from Orcas Island, Washington serving as a page in the United States House of Representatives when rogue politicians and military leaders stage a modern day coup d’état.  When the coup turns violent, she abandons Washington, D.C. for home.  She learns to survive on her own as transportation and financial networks fail, as the war disrupts food and water supplies.  The result is a cautionary tale about political extremism and the true cost of war.
