Her drug problems cause Denise and Iris no short amount of grief. On the Edge of Gone is the second novel by Corinne Duyvis, after Otherbound. When the future of the human race is at stake, whose lives matter most? Can she obtain a spot before the ship takes flight? What about her mother and sister? Denise is autistic and fears that she’ll never be allowed to stay. But each passenger must have a practical skill to contribute. Then a last-minute encounter leads them to something better than a temporary shelter: a Generation Ship that’s scheduled to leave Earth behind and colonize new worlds after the comet hits. Denise and her mother and sister, Iris, have been assigned to a temporary shelter near their hometown of Amsterdam to wait out the blast, but Iris is nowhere to be found, and at the rate Denise’s drug-addicted mother is going, they’ll never reach the shelter in time. That’s the day the comet is scheduled to hit-the big one.
