Daylight Come is set on an island where it's so hot that everyone sleeps in the day and works at night. The teen protagonist, Sorrel, and her mother must leave their current home to try to gain access to cooler air in the mountains in a journey fraught with danger.
In a climate-ravaged future, survival demands sacrifice. It is 2084 on Bajacu, where the sun scorches the land, forcing people to live by night. When another evacuation order threatens their home, Sorrel persuades her mother, Bibi, to flee to the mountains, seeking refuge among the rumored Tribals. Their journey becomes a tense odyssey of survival, evading brutal Domins and feral creatures, where the lines between self-preservation and maternal love blur.
Will Sorrel and Bibi find sanctuary, or will the desperate choices ahead test their bond to its breaking point? For readers of dystopian fiction and Caribbean voices, Daylight Come explores the resilience of the human spirit against the backdrop of a world forever changed.
