Earthquake — Joanna White

After the death of his father, Myles was forced to move across the country with his mom. Now, they're struggling to make ends meet, and while his mother seems to be healing, surrounded by her old high school friends, Myles is all alone. The loss of his dad has left him feeling empty, especially when he refuses to let himself grieve. On top of that, he's living in a town where he doesn't fit in.Lizzie knows what it feels like to be living in a city while feeling like an outcast. Her father moved her and her family across the country and she misses her home as much as Myles misses his. Meeting Myles is refreshing, especially when he and Lizzie seem to hit it off. But her anger toward her father grows each day, since she wants to take over the family ranch back in Montana-a far cry from their new Californian home.Yet the closer Lizzie gets to Myles, the more she sees just how much grief he's hiding inside-grief that he won't deal with. While Myles overwhelms himself working two jobs just to keep him and his mom financially afloat, Lizzie and her family are well off-more than financially secure. Despite their differences, though, Lizzie and Myles are drawn together by their faith and their shared loneliness and distaste for this town.But this California town that they both hate lies right on a series of fault lines that's about to rupture.When the fault lines go, they're going to take all of California with it.***You've read about the volcanic disaster in Hawaii. Now, read the earthquake that started it all***
