In the bestselling vein of Room, a stunning and harrowing novel about a sixteen-year-old girl who is abducted and locked underground by a survivalist who is convinced the end of the world is going to happen. Blythe focuses on finding a way to escape until she discovers that she also has to deal with the crushing loneliness, the terrifying madness of her captor, and the persistent temptation to give up. Nothing, however, prepares her for the burden of having to raising a child in confinement. Out of fear, she pushes aside the truth about a world her son may never see for a myth that just might give meaning to his life underground. Their lives are ambushed by an event at once promising and devastating as she and her son try and escape to life above-and Blythe's dream of going home hangs in the balance. Nothing is at it seems. Riveting and unforgettable, this is a beautifully written and compelling tale of survival, reinvention, and hope.
