THE TUNDRA PASSAGE
by K.A. Jarvis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Post-Apocalyptic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
A birth certificate hidden in a dead woman's closet. A father Grace Campbell was never supposed to find.
Grace is a veterinarian and a survivor of a Florida trailer park childhood. She has made self-reliance her religion. When a shoebox reveals the father she was told never existed, a climatologist in the Alaskan wilderness, she boards a bush plane to find the truth.
The journey doesn't just change her life. It nearly ends it.
As coordinated cyberattacks bring the nation to its knees, Grace's plane is shot from the sky over the Alaskan tundra. Suddenly, she is a thousand miles from home and responsible for the survivors: an eleven-year-old girl with a fierce heart, a researcher with dangerous secrets, a hiker whose smile feels like a warning, and a wolfdog who has lost everything.
A hundred miles of Arctic wilderness stand between them and safety. Between glacial river surges, a stalking grizzly, and starvation, Grace realizes the greatest threat isn't the environment.
It is the person standing next to her, someone whose mission has nothing to do with survival and everything to do with the crisis tearing the country apart.
To protect the people she never expected to love, Grace will have to do the one thing she swore she'd never do again: trust someone enough to let them stay.
Perfect for fans of: The Dog Stars by Peter Heller, The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah, and Where the River Ends by Charles Martin.

EXCERPT:
The food was gone.
Grace split the last ration bar five ways at dawn. Four slivers for the humans, one crumbled into water for Siku, and watched each piece disappear in a single bite. From here on, they ate only what the land gave them.
These skills were no longer supplemental. They were now the difference between functioning and collapsing. The Labrador tea, the fireweed shoots, the Eskimo potato roots. The same plants Grace had been foraging for days to stretch their rations were now the entire menu, and the math was brutal. She could keep them hydrated and fill their stomachs enough to blunt the worst of the hunger pangs. But she couldn't keep them fueled. Foraged plants provided bulk and micronutrients, not the caloric density that five bodies needed to sustain a forced march across rough terrain.
She taught Addy to forage now. Real responsibility, not supervised lessons. She sent the girl ahead with a cloth bag to harvest fireweed shoots while Grace dug Eskimo potato roots from the boggy creek margins, doubling their collection rate.
"How many do you need?" Addy called back, her bag already half full.
"All of them," Grace said. "Every one you can find."
Happy Reading!

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
When the world falls apart, the characters hold on. To each other, to hope, and usually to a very good dog.
K.A. Jarvis writes survival stories with women at the center. Flawed, ordinary women who don't have all the answers but figure it out anyway. These books blend edge-of-your-seat tension with warmth, found family bonds, and the quiet stubborn refusal to give up.
If you like your survival fiction with heart, where the relationships matter as much as the danger, pull up a chair.

Thank you so much Melissa for the incredible 5-star review! I'm thrilled you felt like you were right there in the Tundra with Grace. (And honestly, I'm not sure I'd be ready to brave it today either!)
