Just Get Home

Lynn Braden

Single mother Dessa is out for the evening celebrating the impending marriage of one of her friends when she gets a call from her babysitter telling her that her daughter is sick. As she heads to her car, an earthquake devastates the city of Los Angeles. In her determination to get home, she meets Beegie, who left her home to get away from the frustration over her foster mother and the way she treats her charges when the earthquake hit. As Dessa struggles to get home, she and Beegie bond over trauma they have both faced.

Just Get Home is a story of survival, while detailing the difficulties in the lives of both women. Many of the obstacles the women face are those that are to be expected in a disaster such as this, but the personal obstacles are much more unique and interesting. Overall, this is an average survival book that could have been much more.
