Cover Launch: A MOTHER’S GUIDE TO THE APOCALYPSE by Hollie Overton

Take your first look at the cover for A Mother’s Guide to the Apocalypse (US) by Hollie Overton, a new standalone domestic thriller coming August 2025!

If you knew the world was ending, what would you sacrifice to protect your children? What would you want them to know both about yourself and survival? What secrets would you want to stay buried? With an innovative structure where survival guide meets domestic thriller, A Mother’s Guide to the Apocalypse explores what happens when the unshakable bonds of family are put to the ultimate test.

For Olivia Clark, the summer of 2024, was the beginning of the end. After defending her toddler triplets from a violent intruder she becomes obsessed with doomsday prepping, hoping to protect her children from an increasingly unstable world. Olivia’s husband, Sam, insists she’s being irrational, but she finds solace in an online community of preppers who confirm her fear: the world is ending. Then one day Olivia is one of thousands of people swept away in a flash flood that wiped out half of Los Angeles.

Or that’s the story Sam tells his children.

Twenty years later, the Clark triplets uncover a box of their mother’s belongings that calls Sam’s story into question. Reeling from their father’s betrayal, the sisters connect with one of their mother’s friends and return to California to uncover Olivia’s true fate. Confronted by a world unlike anything they’ve ever known, where no one quite seems to be telling the truth, the sisters find themselves struggling with questions about the the father who raised them and the mother who may have abandoned them, all while trying to hold onto the only constant in their lives—each other.
