When a meteor hits the moon knocking it closer to earth, life as we know it is forever changed. The gravitational pull is altered and the Earth is covered with tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. People must take extreme measures to survive.

Life As We Knew It is the story of one family's survival told through the journal of 16 year old Miranda. Miranda is a typical teenager used to modern conveniences. She fights with her mother, feels jealous of her brothers and wants a chance to go to the prom. But, through all this, she loves her family and finds a strength she didn't know she had.
