Baker's Crossing by Dan DeKoning

A promise made. A promise impossible to keep.

When the world falls apart, Joshua Baker leaves his cushy corporate life behind for the unknown of the Virginia mountains. Navigating his new reality becomes his norm—until he receives a call from an old friend.

Kayla Kasper, stranded in Texas, asks him to fulfill his promise: whatever she needs, whenever she needs him, wherever she is. Without hesitation, Baker embarks on a quest across the remains of America to get to her, braving unforgiving terrain, ruthless rovers, and the worst of humanity.

As he battles through adversity, Baker must use all his skills to reunite with Kayla. In a journey that threatens to kill him, Baker discovers new friends, hope for the future, and the love of his life.

Will it be a promise kept, or will Baker's Crossing prove too large a request?
