This World We Live In is the sequel to two apocalyptic novels, Life As We Knew It and The Dead and the Gone. The two main characters come together from these two books and share the horror of the world after the moon-related catastrophes of the first two books. It appears that things might be improving as food is being distributed on a regular basis and electricity returns for longer and longer periods. Amanda and her brothers scavenge nearby houses for much needed necessities. Miranda's father returns with his wife and new baby and two strangers. Matthew returns from a fishing trip with Lil, his new wife. Amidst the struggle to survive and the difficulties of interpersonal relationships, the protagonists battle a tornado and strive to look toward the future with hope.
Life As We Knew It was a Truman Award winner.
