Description
Azari's life has been split in two - one part filled with freedom and another with uncertainty. Running is her only escape from the challenges she faces every day. When Azari and her mother fled their home, they were forced to leave behind everything familiar. Now, they live in a centre for asylum seekers, where they must share a room with a stranger and eat food they don't know. Azari's life has secrets, and running is one of them. Sometimes she runs because she wants to, feeling strong and free. But other times, she runs because she has no other choice. The authorities ask her intrusive questions, making her feel like she's losing herself in the process. As Azari navigates this new world, will she ever be able to stop running? This powerful story explores a child's experience living in refugee accommodation and the struggles that come with it.
