All that's left is endurance...
My name is Ember Miller. Ever since the War happened all of us has lost some family. Now our little group is all we have; each other. We all are holding on to one little thread of hope. We hope that things might get better. We hope to find food. We hope for a future. Chase Jennings my childhood friend and two people I met along the way -Sean and Rebecca- are the closest thing to family I have. I can't remember the last time Chase got a good night's rest. Every morning I wake he still has circles under his eyes.
We sleep in a mini mart; eat what food we can. The safe house Chase once thought would give us shelter has burned to the ground. Very little was left. Little groups of us search for signs of life - a torn up T-shirt, an open can of soup... nothing. I always look over my shoulder. You can never be too careful. I am excited as I write this down. There is food in a house we explored. Maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel!

I would like to thank Kristen for sending a copy to me. All I have to say about this book is wow! You just know when you come across a great book. It grabs your attention until the very last page. For dystopian fans, you will not be disappointed. Such a wonderful story. Five stars!
