Summary:
Once the safest, most prosperous places on earth, the United States has become sparsely populated and chaotically unstable. Across the country, families travel toward the one hope left: passage on a ship to Europe. As Franklin Lopez makes his way towards the ocean, he finds Margaret, a sick woman shunned to die in isolation. Tentatively, the two join forces, heading towards their future.--From publisher description.
