When the world ends, eight-year-old Caroline Grimes is still the kind of child who says please, thank you, and smiles through missing teeth. Sweet, gentle, and painfully easy to love, she is not built for the apocalypse. But long before the dead close in, Caroline is already unraveling under the weight of fear, loss, and the constant fracture lines inside her own family. As the world strips away everything that once made her feel safe, this is the story of how a little girl is changed-not all at once, but slowly, quietly, and for good. I do not own the walking dead or its characters! I only own Casey Grimes, all others all belong to AMC!
