"I'm not," I say, which isn't exactly true. Putting on a brave face for my two young daughters--pretending everything is fine in my marriage--has been hard. That, and losing the house after Daniel lied to me.I never expected to have to uproot my family to go live in my parents' isolated cottage on Lost Lake. It's twenty miles to the nearest town, an insignificant speck in endless pine forests. Nobody's lived here for a decade.Now, I pick up a rusty pail from its nest of autumn leaves and turn to my daughter. Suddenly, I recall how I used to help my own mother pick wild strawberries up here as a little girl. Maybe, this isn't a punishment. Maybe this place will be the making of our family.Later, I'll hold on to these memories--ghostly shreds of another life. Because just eight hours after I tucked my daughters into bed, feeling so hopeful, the world as I knew it--as anyone knew it--was gone for good.What do you do when the worst thing in the world happens to your family? A gripping, beautiful story that will break your heart from a million-copy bestselling author. For fans of Kristin Hannah, Where the Crawdads Sing and Paper Palace.

To be honest I read this book simply because of the author, I love all her books and didn't even read the synopsis and this book did not disappoint! The book is about a family that move out to the middle of nowhere to recollect while their son is in college. All seems well until disaster strikes the world and they need to survive out there while the husband goes to find their son. It's written so well, with so much detail and emotion that it made me think of life in a different way, and how things can change in the blink of an eye.
