About No Higher Ground

Perfect for fans of Lucy Foley and Will Dean, No Higher Ground is a high-stakes, race-against-time thriller of one family trapped during a flood of epic proportions. In the midst of a terrifying, once-in-a-lifetime flood, Raven, her two children, and their Chihuahua are trapped on the rooftop of her childhood home along with her stepmother, Joan. Surrounded by a raging torrent, Raven fights to stay calm as her thoughts turn to her sister, Ivy, who died tragically when they were children in the now-flooded basement below. As the water rises at an alarming rate, rescue becomes dangerous and nearly impossible. With her daughter's asthma worsening, her newly defiant teenager challenging everything, and her stepmother behaving strangely, Raven's control slips, and tensions in the family reach a boiling point. When shocking memories from her childhood unexpectedly return, fracturing the past, it becomes evident that no one on the rooftop will be the same after the storm. If they make it out alive ... Set over six relentlessly tense hours, No Higher Ground is a powerful exploration of grief, guilt, and trauma--and a chilling reminder of our helplessness in the face of nature's mercilessness.
