Her house. Her parents. Her independence. Gone.

His dreams. His sister. Himself. Lost.

Two people.

One future.

The economy crashed, the country is floundering, and Carrie Ashworth struggles to keep her siblings alive. She’s two jobs in her newly-formed, newly-outlawed clan: grow crops to feed thirty-six people, and keep maintaining contact with Oliver Simmons, their regional patrolman. Carrie’s existence is almost ideal when Greg Pierce shows up. He’s a guy with the ambition to greatly help them survive-a man about Life decided to hate her.

Greg models to work devising systems to protect the clan from the new regime, but it doesn’t take lengthy to realize the real reason behind their safety. Patrolman Simmons has dropped for Carrie. Whenever a authorities raid nearly wipes out their clan, Greg requires it upon himself to give the socially-awkward patrolman what he wants. But Carrie doesn’t like Greg tossing her in Simmons’ path, especially when Greg’s brusque outside melts, and she catches a glance of the real man underneath. Carrie is forced to select: follow her heart or save her clan.

Life won’t permit her choose both. “A must-read for anyone who likes the post-apocalyptic/dystopian genre. Highly recommended.”-Julie L. Casey, author of the Teenage Survivalist series
