I got this as an ARC. 2 timelines are in this story. 2041 - a series of letters written by Kelly to her daughter. 2078 - several different character trying to survive. Climate change is occurring and the governments around the world seem to be just giving in to the inevitable destruction coming. There is a cult that has isolated itself from the rest of the US and has set up basically a survivalist camp. This cult appears in both timelines. The general story is ok but some of the people showing up seems a bit unrealistic in a dystopian world. Found it hard to engage and like the characters.
