Bookroo's summary

Tamen, trapped under a city sky devoid of stars, dreams of seeing the Milky Way. His mother, a dedicated nightshift nurse, sacrifices her rest to take him camping. On the shore of a secluded pond, they share a magical night under a starlit sky. Will this glimpse of the universe fulfill Tamen's longing, or spark a deeper desire for the wonders beyond the city lights?
