Bookroo's summary

Miranda Evans faces a frozen world after a meteor alters Earth's climate. With food scarce and loved ones lost, her father's arrival with strangers, including Alex Morales, complicates survival. As love blossoms, Alex's future plans threaten their bond. A tornado's devastation forces Miranda into a life-changing decision. Can she navigate love and survival in a world turned upside down?

From the publisher

It’s been a year since a meteor collided with the moon, catastrophically altering the earth’s climate. For Miranda Evans, life as she knew it no longer exists. Her friends and neighbors are dead, the landscape is frozen, and food is increasingly scarce. The struggle to survive intensifies when Miranda’s father and stepmother arrive with a baby and three strangers in tow. One of the newcomers is Alex Morales, and as Miranda’s complicated feelings for him turn to love, his plans for his future thwart their relationship. Then a devastating tornado hits the town of Howell, and Miranda makes a decision that will change their lives forever.
