A new Deserted Lands short story.
Rina’s a multi-racial teen, adopted from families who broke their ties. Raised overseas by older white parents working on international bases, Rina doesn’t ever remember living in the United States.
When her parents divorce, they moved ‘back home.’ Now she gets to experience the full meal deal: Immersion in American culture, first on a Wild West week camp and then, the scariest of all, starting as a freshman in a California high school with no friends. Her life couldn’t possibly get worse, right?
When things get bad, what will her mom do? Take her sailing, of course.
Yes, it’s calmer on the water, but sometimes the storm approaching isn’t what you thought. Come out for a stressful sail to survive in this first (chronological) story in the DESERTED LANDS bat virus pandemic universe, a prequel to 2014’s ALL IS SILENCE.
