Publisher's Synopsis
Mr. Benjamin is a philosopher with extraordinary ideas. But when his country begins punishing people for being different, he must escape. Over hills and valleys he trudges with a heavy suitcase. What could he be carrying? Unfortunately, Mr. Benjamin's escape is not successful and he and his suitcase disappear without a trace. But the mystery of his suitcase and what it contained lives on. A compelling and true story-beautifully illustrated by Pei-Yu Chang-about the importance of personal freedom and the distances we go to protect it.
