A Place to Put the Storm
After a storm destroys her family’s coastal South Carolina motel, seventeen-year-old Jo expects the school gym shelter to be temporary. Then she finds her medically fragile brother assigned to a third-floor apartment with a broken elevator, and the buses are due to leave before anyone will correct the file. Jo knows how to keep a cooler cold, a line moving, and panic out of her voice. What she does not know is how to let other people help. As placement records begin sending neighbors toward flooded routes, missing medication, and separated families, Jo teams up with Nina, a classmate volunteering as an interpreter, and the residents who have been told to wait quietly. With the shelter closing early, Jo must decide whether protecting her family means taking the first room offered or helping a whole community prove that the official count is wrong. A tense, compassionate contemporary YA novel about disaster, family, and the courage to build safety together.

The Wrong Floor
By seven on Sunday morning, the gym already smelled like wet socks, bleach, and coffee that had been burned into bitterness sometime before dawn.
Jo stood beside the family’s three cots with Miles’s medication cooler open at her feet. The freezer packs had softened overnight. She shifted the bottles toward the center where they were still cold and counted them twice, not because the number would change but because counting gave her hands somewhere to go.
