   Summary

   "Survival is the ability to swim in strange water" - Frank Herbert

   Beth escapes her Grady kidnappers before they reach the hospital, only to cross paths with a man she hasn't seen since before the farm fell. Life on a sailboat seems safer than on land, and it leads her and Shane to an adventure neither of them expected to find in the apocalypse before they're finally reunited with their families.
