Day After Disaster (The Changing Earth Series)

"I see it as being sort of like The Hunger Games meets The Day After Tomorrow." (MCS Film Review Team)

When a massive earthquake destroys Sacramento, Erika Moore is trapped for months in a bomb shelter under a flooded, toxic city.

She escapes on a homemade raft in a suit of cellophane and duct tape, and volcanic heat in the water burns her. A farm couple, Henry and Carol Duncan, nurse her back to health, but she still does not know if her husband and young son are alive.

For Erika, surviving the quake was only the beginning.

She is a country girl trained in martial arts, and she sets out alone across the lawless Sierra Nevada foothills. A ruthless gang controls the roads, and every mile tests whether she will help others or save herself. When she rescues a young girl named Star whose mother has been killed, her journey is no longer only about her family.

Day After Disaster is Book 1 of the nine-book Changing Earth Series, which also includes two companion novels (Swenson and Virgis) and an audio drama. It is perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, The Day After Tomorrow, and San Andreas.
Author Sara F. Hathaway, a self-defense instructor and host of The Changing Earth Podcast, builds real survival skills into every book.
