Some say a journey starts when you leave your front door. Some say it starts far away from home, when you neither smell its scent, nor see it in your dreams no more.

Eighteen-year-old Jack wakes up from a blackout to find an apocalyptic landscape—the earth split open and a violent flood engulfing the farming valley where he lives. Orphaned and homeless, Jack and his dog Bud begin searching for signs of life.

But someone, or something, is stalking him.

Through flooded farmlands and mountain terrain, survival hangs on a tenuous edge as Jack struggles through a transformed world and into a new life, haunted by the demons and scars of the old.

Book one of the Earthlight series, Ship in the Sky is a coming-of-age adventure, a hero’s journey for all ages in which friendship and love are found in the surprising fissures of a drowning world.
