';Utterly gripping.' NPR, All Things ConsideredLast night, you and I were safe. Last night, in another universe, your father and I stood fighting in the kitchen. Annie is nine months pregnant and shopping for a crib at IKEA when a massive earthquake hits Portland, Oregon. With no way to reach her husband, no phone or money, and a city left in chaos, there's nothing to do but walk. Making her way across the wreckage of Portland, Annie experiences human desperation and kindness: strangers offering help, a riot at a grocery store, and an unlikely friendship with a young mother. As she walks, Annie reflects on her struggling marriage, her disappointing career, and her anxiety about having a baby. If she can just make it home, she's determined to change her life. ';Shocking and full of heart' (Publishers Weekly, starred review), Tilt is a ';moving adrenaline rush' (The New York Times Book Review) and ';epic odyssey' (NPR) about the disappointments and desires we all carry, and what each of us will do for the people we love.
