About The Book

“A testament to the power of hope and motherhood in the worst of situations.”—Kirkus

After a cataclysmic flood submerges half the world underwater, cannibalistic gangs and corrupt encampments become a constant threat to the remaining dry lands. Liv and her precocious three-year-old son Milo are some of the lucky ones who have survived.

With the company of a lonely horse seeking a loving home, Liv is determined to protect Milo from the encampments, even if it means destroying what little is left of civilization. Amidst it all, she learns to embrace love and her own worth. Dry Lands is a gripping journey showcasing the resilience of humanity, parenthood, and the sacrifices we make for our children.

Raves and Reviews

A testament to the power of hope and motherhood in the worst of situations.

– Kirkus

Liv’s daily battle against starvation and predators, human and otherwise, is visceral, and—thanks to Martins’ gift for characterization—her evolution feels earned as she gradually adapts her ethics to keep Milo alive at all costs. The tenacious, well-shaded heroine elevates this above many similar efforts.
