A boy struggles to find his place among the small amount of people left, after the explosion.
The explosion of the planet, that is.
Earth day? Who cared? Nobody on Earth, that's for sure. They proved that by destroying the planet enough that it collapsed in on itself.
When a class of fourteen year old students boards a space ship for a field trip, they don't realize that this is they're last time setting foot on earth. Kalem is one of the few left who cared about the planet at all, and going on a field trip to learn how they despoiled the planet further to make this craft ISN'T exactly his idea of a good time. It doesn't help that Kalem's parents were lost in the explosion, and with all the adults constantly reminding Kalem of what it was like on the surface, Kale isn't sure how much longer he'll last.
Every hint of Earth or 'the surface' cast dark cold shadows over Kale's naturally pessimistic life, reminding him of his parents, his home, everything he's lost. There's nothing for him here. Or is there? They run across a potentially habitable planet one cycle, but is there anything else down there?
Aliens? Hostile creatures? Desert, or tundra?
Hope?
Given the planet's purple distinction from space, it's definitely different from Earth.
But is it too different?
And will they be able to survive when they get there?

That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.Complete
