/sci/ - Science & Math

Perhaps /sci/ can help me out with this

A long time ago, I read a science fiction book that I particularly enjoyed, although I cannot for the life of me remember the name.

It began with a meteor hitting Earth, and a small group of people being herded onto a single ship as a desperate attempt to keep Humanity alive. The people on the ship then went into crystorage and the ship left Earth, which was breaking apart.

Several scenes I remember vividly are about a lady on the day of or before her wedding, and the shes getting her photo taken on the Golden Gate Bridge. The meteor causes the bridge to break, and an iron beam falls through her chest. The meteor crash and her death are captured on camera. Another scene is when the main character, some young man, wakes up on the ship and looks at all the other cryo pods, noticing that several of them have holes from micro meteors, and that others failed early and their inhabitants are rotten piles of mush.

I also remember reading on the back that a sequel had them potentially returning to Earth, to find people living on the ruined broken chunks of the planet that still orbited the Sun.

It wasn't an adult-oriented book like what Card and Asimov wrote, but it was good nonetheless.

Anyone have an idea what this could be from?
