Radical (Hardcover)

Determined to survive the crisis she¡¯s sure is imminent, Bex is at a loss when her world collapses in the one way she hasn¡¯t planned for. Preppers. Survivalists. Bex prefers to think of herself as a realist who plans to survive, but regardless of labels, they¡¯re all sure of the same thing: a crisis is coming. And when it does, Bex will be ready. She¡¯s planned exactly what to pack, she knows how to handle a gun, and she¡¯ll drag her family to safety by force if necessary. When her older brother discovers Clearview, a group that takes survival just as seriously as she does, Bex is intrigued. While outsiders might think they¡¯re a delusional doomsday group, she knows there¡¯s nothing crazy about being prepared. But Bex isn¡¯t prepared for Lucy, who is soft and beautiful and hates guns. As her brother¡¯s involvement with some of the members of Clearview grows increasingly alarming and all the pieces of Bex¡¯s life become more difficult to juggle, Bex has to figure out where her loyalties really lie. In a gripping new novel, E. M. Kokie questions our assumptions about family, trust, and what it really takes to survive.
