When Clara wakes up in a new world, she’s no longer a top-tier survivalist from a post-apocalyptic future—she's now the newly married stepmother of four malnourished children in a poverty-stricken rural village. Her husband? A handsome but useless deadbeat who’s more interested in gambling and gossip than putting food on the table.
With a thatched roof threatening to collapse, threadbare clothes barely holding together, and not a single coin to her name, Clara rolls up her sleeves. She's not here to be a tragic character. She's here to survive—and thrive.
But raising four skeptical children, reviving a collapsing household, and navigating a village full of nosy neighbors won't be easy. Especially when her new stepchildren don’t trust her, and the whole village is waiting to see how fast the “new wife” will run away.
Armed with grit, wit, and a lifetime of survival instincts, Clara is about to prove that even in the toughest soil, something beautiful can grow.
