When a storm threatens to destroy everything, where do you run?
Shortly after sunrise, a depression in the ocean off the south Florida coast strengthens until it earns itself a name: Luna.
And as Luna prepares to make landfall, wealthy communities find themselves being quickly evacuated from their homes. Among them, Daphne and her children scramble for safety, leaving everything from their glossy, privileged lives behind.
Daphne and her children are being sent to an open-air megashelter - the biggest of its kind, designed to hold millions. But as chaos in the camp sets in, she realises how unprotected she and her children really are from the lawlessness and restlessness surging around them.
And by the time the storm hits land, Daphne is no longer competing to be the most upstanding, most well-respected member of her community. Here, in this FEMA camp, at what feels like the end of the world, she is in a battle to protect her children, and to secure their futures.
No matter the cost.
Br****uce Holsinger's gripping new novel follows an elite community facing a natural disaster that threatens to shatter everything. A timely and clever examination of what happens to privilege**, race and class under pressure - perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty.**
