'Hypnotic' New York Times
'A gripping, full-throttle page-turner' Miranda Cowley Heller, bestselling author of The Paper Palace
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 children, will carry on forever.
But Luna - the world's first Category 6 hurricane - changes everything. With Brantley missing, and their finances abruptly cut off, the family find themselves in a vast shelter for the displaced a thousand miles from home.
As days turn into weeks, the Larsen-Halls confront losses and circumstances they never imagined, and a world changed beneath their feet. But when tensions in the shelter reach a breaking point, and shocking truths threaten to tear her family apart, Daphne's resilience is put to the ultimate test.
