Kira Williams | 6 comments I'm pretty sure the main character is a irl. She gets home from a trip and the airport is empty. She goes to a store and it is empty too. Her family is gone and she has a cat. She finds a girl in a cabin in the woods and helps her deliver her baby. There are a couple pictures in the book as well.

Kira, what's the genre or mood (which we need to add to the header/topic title) - e.g., YA [teen] mystery, fantasy, scary, coming of age fiction? How old is the girl?

Around what year did you read this book? A range of years is fine.

Kira Williams | 6 comments I guess the genre would be YA fiction. It was kind of like an apocalyptic setting. I read the book in middle school so between 2010-2013.

message 5: by Kira (new)

Kira Williams | 6 comments I think maybe like high school age.

Rainbowheart | 28686 comments Were there other people around besides the MC and the pregnant girl in the cabin?

Might want to check the No Adults list.

Kira Williams | 6 comments I can’t remember, i think they might have been named, but weren’t really part of the story. There might have been like a story owner or something but that’s about it.

Thanks for the update, Kira. I moved your request back to the "Unsolved" folder. I copied some book details to the topic header. Feel free to edit it.

Is her cat alive and does it accompany her?

Story's location/ country? Where was girl traveling from?

Safekeeping by Karen Hesse?

Google Books preview: https://books.google.com/books?id=VY0...
There are different cover images.

Kirkus Review:
- "In the aftermath of a presidential assassination, the American People's Party has taken over the government, enforcing strict new security measures. Without food or cash and unable to reach her parents, Radley finally arrives in Brattleboro, Vt., to find her home empty. Holding out hope that she'll rejoin her parents, Radley heads off to Quebec on foot. She meets a taciturn girl named Celia, and the two cross the border together. ..."

Google search of Goodreads:
site:goodreads.com "young adult" post-apocalyptic empty airport "her family" gone
("dystopia" works better)
