What Remains of Us: Survival Was Only the Beginning: A 10 - 16 Christian Adventure Survival Book for Upper Middle Grade & Teens
A violent storm stole their world. A forgotten island gave them a new one. But they are not alone.
For former Marines Shane and Jessica Cunningham, a family sailing trip with their two children is the perfect escape—a chance to leave the relentless pace of modern life in their wake. But when a monstrous hurricane descends with shocking fury, their paradise is torn apart, leaving them shipwrecked and fighting for their lives on the shores of a seemingly uninhabited island.
With only their training, their wits, and an unshakeable faith, the family must learn to survive in the wild. The dangerous, beautiful landscape becomes their home, a place where their family is forged into something stronger and more resilient than ever before. They are not just surviving; they are building a life.
Just as they find peace in their hard-won sanctuary, a mysterious signal from a distant shore proves their isolation was an illusion. The discovery of another castaway doesn't just bring the promise of rescue—it brings a new set of dangers and an impossible choice.
Will they fight to return to the civilization they lost, or embrace the more meaningful life they have found in the heart of the unknown?
What Remains of Us is a powerful, faith-based adventure about the true nature of survival, family, and home. Perfect for fans of inspirational fiction and gripping survival stories. It's Swiss Family Robinson meets The Shack.

This is a great book by Shane Cunninham. Extremely well written, it is a wonderful start to a young reader’s survival series. But it is not just a survival story. It is a tale of courage and character and faith. The pace is relentless, and the conflicts are real. It hooked me from the first page. I will be passing this one along to my grandsons.
