Family Day (the Short Story)

Family Day is a short story dealing with a contemporary issue, that of family separation. The Noor Family, the central family in this work of fiction, are separated by a violent storm on their cruise trip. They spent many years apart, until one day, when they each decide to search for the other. This is the story about their search.

Family Day serves as a political allegory on the historic issue of family separation, a policy implemented by the Trump administration to separate families at the US border. This story is a lot like the Crucible, by Arthur Miller, in the sense that it is a political allegory about a historic issue.
