American War--#12 finished

 This is a futuristic novel about a family in Louisiana during a 2nd American civil war.  The time is 2070s and on.  It isn't spelled out exactly what happened but temperatures have risen and sounds like icecaps have melted, large areas of the coasts are now under water.  The south is Georgia, Alabama & Mississippi with South Carolina in quarantine from a chemical attack.  Mexico has taken large parts of the southwest and what is left is the north.  The new capital is Columbus, OH and for the south it is Atlanta.  The story follows a girl, Sarat, and her family forced into a refugee center that is eventually overrun by the north and a massacre happens.  She survives and becomes a rogue fighter for the south.  A really interesting book with a lot of makes you think scenarios.

There are 4 WL for this book on PBS so will probably post & send off at some point.
