Publisher's Synopsis
A collection of freestanding essays, Beyond the Gates to Ikarus documents the account of a police officer who was called to New York City on 9/11, the discovery of Ikarus: a hidden kite-boarding school on the shores of Quintana Roo, and an up-close look at the remnants of Dachau Concentration Camp, among other tales. What do these narratives have to do with each other? Each story crafts a tale of fear, persistence, and how the human spirit overcomes these elements to find hope in their everyday lives.
