Synopsis

In this unputdownable sequel to the heartbreaking bestseller The Last Stars in the Sky, one family’s fight for survival continues as they navigate a world forever changed.

Seven months ago, our family left suburban Connecticut for my parents’ isolated lake house in a naïve attempt to reconnect. Life had imploded, or so I thought then. I hoped the change would reset us. A montage of Hallmark moments—card games in candlelight, hugs and healing chats. What I got was a nuclear holocaust five days after we arrived.

Last week, the lake house burned to the ground. Our last place of safety. Now, I watch my children huddle together, their faces lit up by our tiny campfire beneath the towering blackness of endless pine forests. I wonder what tomorrow will bring—for the world, but also for my family.

My daughters are so young. They’ve seen so little of life, but far too much. What future can they possibly have? I must keep them safe. No matter what lies ahead. Already I know it’s a promise I don't have the power to make... but I’ll die trying to keep it.

A gripping tale of resilience, hope and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her children, from a million-copy bestselling author. If you love Boo Walker, Where the Forest Meets the Stars and Julianne MacLean, you won’t be able to put this book down.
