Emma Pattee

In her debut novel Emma Pattee draws on her expertise as a climate journalist to follow Annie through an electrifying single-day odyssey. When a catastrophic earthquake level-sets Portland, Oregon, Annie–nine months pregnant and completely stranded–must walk across the wreckage to find her husband. Written as an intimate conversation to Annie’s unborn baby, Tilt is a heart pounding yet deeply touching exploration of community, motherhood, and what it truly takes to reset your life when the world fractures around you.
