Nowhere to Turn

Mike Kraus

A chain of unprecedented earthquakes shatters cities, buries the powerful, and leaves survivors stranded across a fractured America. At a Virginia homestead, Mara Padgett struggles to protect her children as supplies dwindle, while her separated husband, Logan, must cross a devastated landscape with a young orphan in his care. Mara’s sister Deb undertakes a dangerous journey from the ruins of Memphis, and geologist Ripley Baxter fights to escape the wreckage of a Washington, D.C., bunker. Woven through multiple perspectives, this gripping tale of disaster and survival explores family, sacrifice, resilience, and the fragile bonds that hold humanity together when everything else is broken.
