![]() That's what the first book in this series did for me. I thrive on books that take a hypothetical situation and make it seem all too real.and possible. Not a Drop to Drink was a surprising favorite for me last year, despite its bleak tone and gut-wrenching ending. In this companion to Not a Drop to Drink, Mindy McGinnis thrillingly combines the heart-swelling hope of a journey, the challenges of establishing your own place in the world, and the gripping physical danger of nature in a futuristic frontier. ![]() Rumors of desalinization plants in California have lingered in Lynn’s mind, and the prospect of a “normal” life for Lucy sets the two of them on an epic journey west to face new dangers: hunger, mountains, deserts, betrayal, and the perils of a world so vast that Lucy fears she could be lost forever, only to disappear in a handful of dust. When disease burns through their community, the once life-saving water of the pond might be the source of what’s killing them now. Yet it seems Lucy’s future is settled already-a house, a man, children, and a water source-and anything beyond their life by the pond is beyond reach. She has water and friends, laughter and the love of her adoptive mother, Lynn, who has made sure that Lucy’s childhood was very different from her own. Lucy’s life by the pond has always been full. The only thing bigger than the world is fear. Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Audible ![]() ![]() Source: ARC received from publisher, audiobook received from publisher ![]()
