Although she has nothing but her best friend—the four-year-old German Shephard Gretchen—, her six-year-old sister Madeline, and the clothes on her back, Penny is determined to do whatever is necessary to ensure that they find safety. In a world full of poverty, thieves, and the crumbling ruins of a once magnificent era, they journey on a path that takes them away from everything they've ever known as familiar, into the unknown. Only the three of them, alone in the vastness of the empty landscape that lays ahead.
