Summary:
"When Paige Miller went to sleep, trying to stave off the flu, she had a mother, a stepfather, a younger brother, a basketball team on its way to the state championship, and a scholarship to UConn in the fall. When she wakes up, it's all gone. Her dreams for the future. Her best friend. Her family. Everyone in the whole world. Now Paige is alone, her hometown filled with scavenger birds, with abandoned cars, with silence, with darkness, with corpses. She has no idea how it happened. How could everyone get sick all at the same time? How did she survive? It would be easy to lose hope, to give up. But Paige is a warrior. She doesn't do despair. She is going to live. As she gets through each day--scrounging for food, for shelter, for safety--Paige encounters a few other young survivors. And they realize the apocalypse did not happen by accident. There are worse things than being alone. And together, they might stand a chance."-- Provided by publisher.
