In this powerful conclusion to the Lost Lake trilogy, a mother faces her greatest test yet in a reborn but dangerous America.
After years of survival and devastating loss, the promise of a new settlement in North Dakota feels like salvation. A chance for my children to reclaim some semblance of normalcy, studying and making friends again, and for me to find new purpose, reporting on this strange new world we're living in for a newspaper. I'm even forming new friendships as I grow closer to Jack Wyatt, the settlement's deputy leader.
But I can't help feeling haunted by what—and who—we left behind. I desperately miss my eldest daughter, Mattie, who chose to stay in Canada, forging her own future in the community I left behind. I tell myself she's safe there. But as I learn more about the world I belong to, I begin to understand the disturbing truth of how it has been formed—and I am terrified that Mattie might be in their sights.
I've already lost too much to this broken world—I won't lose my daughter too.
