The Present Day by Day

By Meridel Newton

In a world struggling with the aftermath of catastrophe, the small community of Osto is a beacon of hope uniting ragged survivors with a creed of cooperation and equality. As the newly elected leader of the town, Amaya Bly has her hands full after a harder-than-expected winter drained limited resources and strained the population's tolerance for long, dark days and overcrowded spaces.

The aftermath of a sizable earthquake has her questioning her friendships and loyalties when news of a new nearby settlement reaches the Shelter. Amaya is suddenly faced with the unique dilemmas of leadership: How will Osto approach their new neighbors? What sort of relationship should they-can they-hope to establish? And how can they keep the malcontents within Osto from poisoning the nascent alliance without betraying their ideals?

In this second book of The Shelter Trilogy, a new cast of characters joins old favorites, intrigue threatens all, and bit by bit, humanity continues the recovery
