Publisher's Synopsis
Prequel to #1 bestseller, All Bets Are Off (Apocalyptic Women, Snug Haven #1)
"I love a story that features strong women conquering overwhelming odds, and Juvie does just that. Still a kid, 15 years old and a veteran of the foster care system and its trappings, Juvie escapes another near miss with a foster dad with roaming hands. This teen is loaded with uncanny resourcefulness as she sets out on her own with a few supplies and more bravery and heart than most grown-ups. It becomes an adventure of survival that had me a worried mess for her safety, but with action and suspense that kept me riveted to the pages. I really wish I could reach into the pages and give her a big hug and show her that a grown-up really does care, and I bet you'll feel the same because this kid deserves just that."
When the last foster father steps over a big red line, she does what she has to do, and with a cumbersome suitcase, Juvie takes to the road...and to the trees. The woods, she believes, will be her salvation. She is sure of it. With only a few stolen items to aid her survival, she starts a journey north, away from everything she's known, and everything she wants to forget. But the world has no shortage of nefarious people, and mother nature is no walk in the park. "If the book following this prequel is even half as good it will be a best seller! I totally fell in love with Juvie. She is just a young girl with the heart of a warrior. How can so many things go wrong and still show what a survivor she is? Outstanding story."
