She risks everything to gain entry into their inner circle, but tragedy strikes before she can even begin to savor her involvement.Zoe Rasmussen, wearied by her role as energy magnate Phil Rasmussen' s wife, clings unhappily to her situation for her daughter' s sake. When grief-stricken Justine, armed and unhinged, appears with a demand, Zoe is torn between terror and excitement. But Justine' s actions have unwittingly attracted dangerous forces, and as these women hurtle towards collision, they each face the choice: uphold what' s right, or risk shattering their lives.
"Rosenfeld's stunning eco-thriller is about acts of sabotage: those we commit against each other, against the planet, and against ourselves. She puts an achingly human face on the love (and sometimes lies) between mothers and daughters, the losses that can buckle us to our knees, and how the only real way to face the future is to unbury the secrets of the past. Achingly real and totally unforgettable."
Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You and Days of Wonder
"Women are made of fire in Fallout-women staying awake, paying attention, finding ways to acknowledge and avoid complicity, ways to acknowledge and embrace their individual and collective power. Jordan Rosenfeld helps burn down the patriarchy with this fierce and beautiful novel - a propulsive, explosive, timely, inspiring read."
Gayle Brandeis-author of Many Restless Concerns and Drawing Breath
"Fallout is truly a rare accomplishment, a page turner with a blistering heart and a powerful sense of purpose. Rosenfeld seamlessly weaves motherhood, grief, environmentalism, family tragedy and hopefulness into a story of redemption. An equal blend of propulsion and pathos, Fallout is a must-read you can't put down, even as its themes will linger in your mind for ages to come."
Laura Bogart, author of Don't You Know I Love You?
