'Hypnotic' New York Times
'A gripping, full-throttle page-turner' Miranda Cowley Heller, bestselling author of The Paper Palace
Daphne Larsen-Hall has every reason to believe that her life as an artist in a luxury Miami house with her surgeon husband, Brantley, and their children, will carry on forever.
But Luna - the world's first Category 6 hurricane - changes everything. With Brantley missing, and their finances abruptly cut off, the family find themselves in a vast shelter for the displaced a thousand miles from home.
As days turn into weeks, the Larsen-Halls confront losses and circumstances they never imagined, and a world changed beneath their feet. But when tensions in the shelter reach a breaking point, and shocking truths threaten to tear her family apart, Daphne's resilience is put to the ultimate test.
'Tense, claustrophobic, and all too imaginable' Diane Chamberlain
'Riveting' Mary Beth Keane
Praise for Bruce Holsinger's The Gifted School:
'More than a touch of Liane Moriarty's Big Little Lies' Observer
'An incisive inspective of privilege, race and class' New York Times
'Snapping with tension, this is a book for our times' Shari Lapena
'Exposes how easily a mix of good intentions, self-delusions and minor sins can escalate' The New Yorker
