'Hypnotic' New York Times

'A gripping, full-throttle page-turner' Miranda Cowley Heller, bestselling author of The Paper Palace

_________________________________________

An adrenaline-fuelled story of lives upended and privilege lost in a swiftly changing world.

Daphne Larsen-Hall has every reason to believe that her life as an artist in a luxury Miami house with her surgeon husband, Brantley, and their family, will carry on forever.

But Luna - the world's first Category 6 hurricane - changes everything. With Brantley missing in the aftermath of the massive storm, Daphne and their children find themselves in a vast shelter for the displaced a thousand miles from home, their finances abruptly cut off.

As days turn into weeks, the family confronts losses and circumstances they never imagined, and a world that has changed beneath their feet. When tensions in the shelter reach a breaking point, Daphne's resilience is put to the ultimate test as she realises 'normal' will never return - and faces the shocking truths that threaten to tear her family apart once more.

'Tense, claustrophobic, and all too imaginable' Diane Chamberlain

Industry Reviews

A riveting and humbling reminder of how precarious our lives are

A propulsive family drama and a provocative story of human dignity, human indignity, and the deeper meanings of home

Urgent, powerful, unputdownable

Brilliantly imagined and terrifyingly believable - Kirkus

The Displacements is tense, claustrophobic, and all too imaginable. A reminder that disaster doesn't only happen to other people, that in a heartbeat each of us can be put to the test in a desperate search for physical and emotional survival. Holsinger's beautifully drawn characters are made even more human by their relatable vulnerability in this gripping, twisty drama

A profound and devastating story of survival and hope - Woman's Own
