Miles Apart

A Grid Down Family Survival Story

Miles Apart is Book Two in the Miles Away series—a gripping, realistic grid-down survival story told through the eyes of thirteen-year-old Jessie, as a sudden nationwide blackout forces a modern family to live like their ancestors, without power, without convenience, and without certainty.

Cut off from communication and the outside world, they are left to face a new reality—one where survival depends on rediscovering forgotten skills, relying on family, and adapting to a life stripped down to its most basic form.

But as the days pass, it becomes clear this is no temporary outage.

The systems they depended on are gone.
The world beyond their reach is changing.
And the quiet they once welcomed begins to feel dangerous.

As they learn to live off the land and rebuild a fragile sense of normalcy, tension grows and trust is tested. Strangers appear. Resources grow scarce. And the line between safety and survival begins to blur.

In a world without modern comforts, survival isn’t just about staying alive—it’s about who you become along the way.

Each book in the series can be enjoyed on its own or as part of the larger story.
