In beautifully written, spell-binding prose, it dramatizes the heroic quest of three women-mother, daughter, granddaughter-to reunite in a post-apocalyptic future filled with gun-toting bands of militias, corrupt police, crazy radio talk-show hosts, racism, and economic and political chaos. This is the story of their determination to survive with resilience, love, and stoic humor. Mixing terrifying suspense, riveting slice-of-life episodes, terrifying encounters, heart-warming scenes and splashes of dark humor, Davis narrates a gripping, powerful literary thriller about our human need to connect and endure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlan Davis's first two collections of stories, \u003cem\u003eRumors from the Lost World\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eAlone with the Owl\u003c\/em\u003e, won the Many Voices Project award.
