"You don't get to look at me like that with your wife in the next room." Before the dead started walking, Charlotte Bennett was an ER nurse. She was neighbors to the Grimes family. She drank coffee with Lori. Carl called her Aunt Charlie. Now the world is dead. Her daughter is in the ground. And Charlotte is holding a prison with Elias Vance - a quiet, heavy-hitting man - and a teenage girl named Tessa who has not let her out of her sight since the day Charlotte found her. Then Rick walks through her gate. A year of survival has carved him down to something she does not recognize. His wife is nine months pregnant with a baby. His son has a gun on his hip. And one summer night years ago, Charlotte stood on his porch with his hand on the back of her neck and his face an inch from hers and told herself nothing happened. Nothing happened. She has been telling herself nothing happened for years. Charlotte is going to find out what it costs to be the only person left who knew them all before. Becoming attached is the most dangerous choice you can make. She has made it before. She is about to make it again.
