From the nationally bestselling author of The Gifted School comes an adrenaline-fueled story of lives upended and transformed by an unprecedented catastrophe.

To all appearances, the Larsen-Hall family has everything: three healthy children, a stable marriage, a lucrative career for Brantley and the means for Daphne to pursue her art full time. Their new life in Miami has just clicked into place when Luna--the world's first Category 6 hurricane--strips their illusions away.

With the family home obliterated, Brantley missing, and access to their finances brutally severed, Daphne and the children join a rush of evacuees from across the American South. As millions confront displacement, the family is transported hundreds of miles to a FEMA megashelter, where the revelations mount. Joining a desperate and restless population of IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons), they face tragedy even as their destinies fuse with the lives of their fellow residents: a ruthless opioid dealer exploiting the weak, a group of vulnerable children separated from their parents, a relief worker battling threats from all sides. As days turn to weeks, the displaced must find the resources and the will to enter the greater world again, pursuing a normalcy that may never return.

A suspenseful novel plotted on a vast national tapestry, The Displacements explores security and its loss, the power of art and the pull of home, and the nature of resilience in a swiftly changing world.
