You’re at home with your husband and four children, preparing lunch like any other day. Then armed terrorists surround your town.
They storm homes, steal farm produce, and kill anyone who resists. You flee into the bushes, scattering with your loved ones in different directions. When the dust settles, you are told your husband’s body has been found. Home is no longer safe, so you leave to start over. But what would starting over look like?
