Yesterday, Lydia had a bookshop.Yesterday, Lydia was married to a journalist. Yesterday, she was with everyone she loved most in the world.
Today, her eight-year-old son Luca is all she has left. For him, she will carry a machete strapped to her leg. For him, she will leap onto the roof of a high speed train. For him, she will find the strength to keep running.
