If We Survive This

Flora Braddock Paz has lived with intrusive fears for years, but a rabies-like outbreak makes the outside world dangerous in ways she cannot dismiss as anxiety. Her mother is dead, her brother Cain is injured, and a radio message from their father offers a possible destination: a cabin in Northern California. Reaching it means crossing a landscape where other people and the infected both pose threats. Crisanta, Cain's former girlfriend and Flora's longtime crush, joins the journey, bringing another source of uncertainty into an already overwhelming situation. This young adult survival horror story follows a queer teenager navigating grief, attraction and responsibility while trying to keep her family alive through a catastrophe.
