The Road To Woodbury by Jay Bonansinga

In a world overrun by the undead, a resilient young woman named Lilly Caul leads a ragged group of survivors on a perilous journey toward the rumored safety of a walled community called Woodbury, confronting marauding walkers, desperate human adversaries, dwindling supplies and the moral compromises survival demands; as she navigates loss, leadership and shifting loyalties, the novel traces how fear and hope shape both individuals and the fragile society they try to build.
