Independence

If malnutrition doesn't kill seventeen-year-old Olivia, her search for security just might.

Basic survival is the goal for most after the apocalypse strikes. So, when Olivia's father abandons her with relatives who can barely feed themselves, the resentment is obvious.

Hungry for something more than just scraps of food, Olivia meets the connected, suave, and handsome Nick, who offers her just what she's after.

Nick seems to help many local women. But there's something about him that Olivia can't quite put her finger on. He makes so many promises and must expect something in return.

Will the lure of security make Olivia fall for Nick and lose more than she bargained for? Or can she stand to survive on her own?
