In this unputdownable sequel to the heartbreaking bestseller The Last Stars in the Sky, one family's fight for survival continues as they navigate a world forever changed.
Seven months ago, our family left suburban Connecticut for my parents' isolated lake house in a naïve attempt to reconnect. Life had imploded, or so I thought then. I hoped the change would reset us. A montage of Hallmark moments--card games in candlelight, hugs and healing chats. What I got was a nuclear holocaust five days after we arrived.
Last week, the lake house burned to the ground. Our last place of safety. Now, I watch my children huddle together, their faces lit up by our tiny campfire beneath the towering blackness of endless pine forests. I wonder what tomorrow will bring--for the world, but also for my family.
My daughters are so young. They've seen so little of life, but far too much. What future can they possibly have? I must keep them safe. No matter what lies ahead. Already I know it's a promise I don't have the power to make... but I'll die trying to keep it.
A gripping tale of resilience, hope and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her children, from a million-copy bestselling author. If you love Boo Walker, Where the Forest Meets the Stars and Julianne MacLean, you won't be able to put this book down.
Kate Hewitt
Kate Hewitt discovered her first Mills & Boon romance on a trip to England when she was thirteen and she's continued to read them ever since.
She wrote her first story at the age of five, simply because her older brother had written one and she thought she could do it, too. That story was one sentence long-fortunately, they've become a bit more detailed as she's grown older.
Although she was raised in Pennsylvania, she spent summers and holidays at her family's cottage in rural Ontario, Canada; picking raspberries, making maple syrup and pretending to be a pioneer. Now her children are enjoying roaming the same wilderness!
She studied drama in college and shortly after graduation moved to New York City to pursue a career in theatre. This was derailed by something far better-meeting the man of her dreams who happened also to be her older brother's childhood friend.
Ten days after their wedding they moved to England, where Kate worked a variety of different jobs-drama teacher, editorial assistant, church youth worker, secretary and finally mother.
When her oldest daughter was one year old, she sold her first short story to a British magazine, The People's Friend. Since then she has written many stories and serials as well as novels. She loves writing stories that celebrate the healing and redemptive power of love and there's no better way of doing it than through the romance genre!
Besides writing, she enjoys reading, traveling and learning to knit-it's an ongoing process and she's made a lot of scarves.
After living in England for six years, she now resides in Connecticut with her husband, an Anglican minister, her three young children and the possibility of one day getting a dog.
Kate loves to hear from readers.
