Overview
Cardo Preston has done everything the hard way.He enlisted after 9/11, survived Iraq— twice— and returned to San Antonio determined to be the father his daughter, Maxine, deserves. Now fourteen, brilliant, and restless, Max is already looking beyond the world Cardo has scraped together. When she sets her sights on an elite New England boarding school, Cardo tells himself it’ s impossible— until Max finds a way in, scholarship and all.As applications accelerate, money tightens, and Cardo’ s job at airport security becomes a pressure cooker, old rage, guilt, and grief seep into the present. Max wants freedom; Cardo wants security. Between them lies a country that praises sacrifice, sells opportunity, and rarely counts the emotional cost.Freedom of Movement is a darkly funny, deeply tender story about class, the aftereffects of war, and the fierce, sometimes unbearable love between a father and the daughter he might be raising to leave.
