The world ended in a single day. What surfaced was the woman she used to be.

Sarah Roberts spent eighteen years shrinking to fit a marriage that had swallowed everything she had once been. A family vacation to Kauai was supposed to be one last chance to save it. She knew, the moment she stepped off the plane, that it wouldn't.

Then the mountain roars, and the ocean pulls back. If not for the fierce, life-saving instincts of a stray Hawaiian Poi dog, Sarah and her teenage twins would have been buried when the mountainside gave way.

When the Pacific finally settles, only the highlands remain.

Stranded three thousand feet above a drowned world with her children and a scattered group of strangers, Sarah quickly learns the wave was only the beginning.

As survival demands desperate measures, and predatory threats close in on their camp, they must learn to rely on one another to stay alive. As they begin to forge true bonds, a shattering betrayal from within threatens to destroy everything they have built.

To protect the people she loves, Sarah must finally reclaim the brilliant scientific mind she had buried.

Some catastrophes strip away everything. What remains is who you always were.
