The highly acclaimed, instant New York Times bestseller that shows the moment-by-moment reality of a painful possible future, the price we may have to pay for our passionate devotion to all of the wrong things. --Sarah Stone, San Francisco Chronicle The world Cal and Frida have always known is gone, and theyve left the crumbling city of Los Angeles far behind them. They now live in a shack in the wilderness, working side-by-side to make their days tolerable in the face of hardship and isolation. Mourning a past they cant reclaim, they seek solace in each other. But the tentative existence theyve built for themselves is thrown into doubt when Frida finds out shes pregnant. Terrified of the unknown and unsure of their ability to raise a child alone, Cal and Frida set out for the nearest settlement, a guarded and paranoid community with dark secrets. These people can offer them security, but Cal and Frida soon realize this community poses dangers of its own. In this unfamiliar world, where everything and everyone can be perceived as a threat, the couple must quickly decide whom to trust. A gripping and provocative debut novel by a stunning new talent, California imagines a frighteningly realistic near future, in which clashes between mankinds dark nature and deep-seated resilience force us to question how far we will go to protect the ones we love.
