The Border Line by Author Annie Dai

VERO BEACH, Fla. - Nov. 7, 2024 - PRLog -- Getting to College Is Not Easy After a Catastrophe

Survival Story Teaches Teenager More About Life Than a University Education

Nothing will stop Soya Hosuwa from attending university . . . not even an earthquake! The teenager desires acceptance into a prestigious university located in the capital of the Empire of Longyu. But she lives in the isolated coastal village of Matama, which has just been decimated by an earthquake. Traveling is not easy. Will she be able to achieve her life-long dream of attending college?

In the explosive new novel, The Border Line, Soya is left with nothing but the clothes on her back, and a chatty cat named Ala'watori to keep her company. With no home to return to, the two begin a perilous journey to reach her university in the northern city of Orasai.

Soya's trip exposes the true nature of her country, as she learns of the many injustices and exploitations perpetrated within the southern border. There are two contrasting versions of the same people, each separated by an invisible line between north and south. Soya hears the stories of southerners who have long suffered under the corrupt power and influence carried out by the north.

Her daunting journey teaches Soya invaluable life lessons.

"Truly exquisite writing from this young author. She is one to watch." – Lynn Eddy, VP of Acquisitions, Strategic Book Publishing

About the Author: First-time author Annie Dai grew up in Boston, Massachusetts. She is a student and is already planning her next novel. "Even in the most idyllic paradises, there will always be those who had to forfeit the extra inch, contribute the additional sacrifice and strength and energy, relinquish the supplementary drops of sweat and blood. It just doesn't seem sensible to disregard such a thing, when it has been evident in every society in every geographical location."
