White Horse Alex Adams

Thirty-year-old Zoe wants to go back to college. That's why she cleans cages and floors at Pope Pharmaceuticals. If she can keep her head down, do her job, and avoid naming the mice, she'll be fine. Her life is calm, maybe even boring -- until the end ofthe world, when the president of the United States announces that humans are no longer a viable species. Zoe starts running the moment she realizes everyone she loves is gone. Her boyfriend Nick, fearing he's contracted the virus, leaves for Greece. WhenZoe discovers she's pregnant -- and entirely alone -- she treks across the world to find Nick and reunite her growing family. On the way she encounters characters both needy and nefarious -- some human, some monster, and some uncertain beings altered by genetic mutation -- and comes to see that humanity is defined not by genetic code but by soulful actions and choices.
