It was supposed to be just a shopping trip at IKEA. Get that crib; she couldn’t put it off much longer. But then, disaster struck Portland. The long-talked-about Big One. She has no phone, no money, no car. The only thing she can do is walk across the wreckage of the city, trying to get home. Along the way, she experiences complete human desperation and unbelievable kindness. Strangers offer help, while others riot at a grocery store. As she walks, she takes stock of her life, career, marriage, and impending motherhood. If she can make it home, she’s determined to make big changes in her life.
