Book 3 of the Last Survivors series begins one year since a meteor hit the moon knocking it closer to the Earth causing tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other severe weather changes.  Miranda Evans and her family has survived in Pennsylvania but food is scarce and the weather is freezing.  Ash from the volcanic eruptions has blocked out the sun.  Life for the Evans family has changed.  They forage for food from the houses around them.  Her two brothers travel for two days on bikes to fish in the river.  Miranda’s mother tries to keep things stable and normal by keeping up everyday rountines, but they are struggling to survive.  Then Miranda’s father and step-mother arrive with four others including their newborn son, Gabriel.  Now there are more mouths to feed.  Alex Morales (from The Dead and the Gone) is one of the new additions to their family.  Miranda finds herself attracted to Alex.  Read Miranda’s diary to find out how they all survive and what develops between Alex and Miranda.
