Sometimes losing your children is the only way to save them.

The year is 2039. Jean Bennett’s husband and sister have died from a mysterious illness. To save her children’s lives, she must leave the home she loves. Deep in grief, infected by a virus that might kill her at any time, and chased by government goons, Jean must be braver than she ever thought possible as she journeys to Canada to get her five children to safety.

It should be a three-day car trip, but this ride is not like any they’ve ever taken. When Jean learns that children, originally thought to be immune, can be infected at fifteen, the stakes rise. Her oldest son just turned fourteen. Then their vehicle and all their supplies are stolen.

As each new challenge changes her, Jean begins to understand what she must do to save her children. Just making it to Canada isn’t enough; she must make one final sacrifice.

The grueling journey of The Road meets the shifting perspectives of Station Eleven in this dystopian speculative fiction about a family that survives their worst fears as the known world and their certainty about who they are disintegrate during a thousand-mile race to safety. Sanctuary is a story about love and determination, a story of hope.

Excerpt from Sanctuary

THE infection hit with such ferocity and speed that all public trans¬port had shut down by the end of my husband’s meeting in DC, sixty-five miles from home. No car, no commuter train, no way out.

In the five hours since he’d arrived in the city that morning, police had blockaded roads and barred highway entrances. Airlines delayed flights and then canceled them. Residents, under threat of arrest, huddled in their homes, and universities restricted students to dorms. Government officials shuttered public buildings, closing, and locking the gates.

Television news showed black-helmeted National Guardsmen herding panicked tourists back toward their hotels as they stampeded down unfamiliar streets. Coast Guard cutters patrolled the Potomac River; helicopters buzzed overhead. From Capitol Hill to the Ellipse, red lights on Constitution Avenue blinked on and off. Front pages of the morning newspaper skittered across empty streets.

I waited for Ted to call.
