A Story of Struggle, Resilience, and Human Connection
'2 A.M. in Little America' transports listeners to a not-so-distant future where America is torn apart by civil conflict. This novel sheds light on the lives of young Americans like Ron Patterson, who are forced to flee their homeland and seek refuge in an unwelcoming world.
Ron finds himself in an unnamed city surrounded by the ocean and lush mountains. Working as a repairman and sharing a room with fellow refugees, he dreams of a stable and peaceful life. His world brightens when he befriends Marlise, a mysterious migrant who uncannily resembles a former classmate.
However, their happiness is short-lived. Anti-migrant sentiment puts an end to their intimate connection and forces Ron to seek shelter in 'Little America,' an enclave for migrants in one of the few countries still accepting them. Here, the echoes of his past life resurface, and Ron begins to feel a sense of belonging. He adopts a dog, observes his neighbors, and silently moves through the city as a repairman.
