Fierce Kingdom by Gin Phillips
As closing time approaches at a city zoo, a mother and her young son hear gunshots and are thrust into a desperate, real-time fight for survival. Using her intimate knowledge of the grounds, she hides, improvises, and makes wrenching choices while navigating the labyrinth of exhibits and confronting other terrified visitors and the teenage gunmen. The story probes the ferocity of maternal love, the moral ambiguities of protecting a child at all costs, and the thin line between predator and prey over a tense few hours.
