“Reading this book is both very easy and very hard. Easy because the story is so good; the flashbacks weave everything perfectly from start to finish. But it’s hard because the topic itself is a brutal reminder of the world we live in."

Not so very long ago, Alex Washington had a loving wife, a beautiful home, an adorable dog, and a fulfilling career that fed her soul. And then came the virus, the political unrest, the chaos and violence…

With the death of society came the destruction of everything Alex knew and held dear. Forced to flee a crumbling civilization, she took up shelter in a remote summer vacation house turned makeshift forest fortress. All she has left now is her will to persevere and survive–even if only for one day at a time.

But though she may think she’s safe in a world of solitude, stockpiling, and sanctuary, Alex is far from alone.
