ALL THE DISTANCE BETWEEN

A Novel Of Survival

De: William Ferrier Jr.

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

★★★★★ "A masterpiece of historical fiction that deserves every major literary award."

Some journeys measure a thousand miles. Others measure the distance between who you were forced to be and who you refuse to become.

In 1883, twelve-year-old Nayeli is ripped from his family and imprisoned at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School—an institution designed to systematically erase Native American identity. His hair is cut. His name is taken. His language is forbidden. Children who resist are beaten. Children who remember are punished. Children who fight back disappear.

But Nayeli remembers his grandmother's words: A man is measured by the distance he can walk toward home.

When he escapes through a dormitory window into the darkness, he begins an impossible journey—a thousand miles on foot through hostile territory, hunted by men with tracking dogs, surviving on determination and the memories they couldn't take from him.

This is the story of: → Cultural genocide and the children who survived it
→ An epic escape across 19th-century America
→ The true meaning of home and identity
→ What it costs to remember who you are when the world demands you forget

Meticulously researched and devastatingly beautiful, The Long Way Home brings to life a dark chapter of American history through the eyes of one unforgettable boy who walked a thousand miles to reclaim his name.

For fans of literary historical fiction, Indigenous narratives, and survival stories that refuse to be forgotten.
