"The world Cal and Frida have always known is gone, and they've left the crumbling city of Los Angeles far behind them. They now live in a shack in the wilderness, working side-by-side to make their days tolerable in the face of hardship and isolation. Mourning a past they can't reclaim, they seek solace in each other. But the tentative existence they've built for themselves is thrown into doubt when Frida finds out she's pregnant. Terrified of the unknown and unsure of their ability to raise a child alone, Cal and Frida set out for the nearest settlement, a guarded and paranoid community with dark secrets. These people can offer them security, but Cal and Frida soon realize this community poses dangers of its own. In this unfamiliar world, where everything and everyone can be perceived as a threat, the couple must quickly decide whom to trust"-- Provided by publisher.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

very good submitted by Lucy S on August 15, 2014, 4:44am This was a quick read that I really enjoyed. A futuristic view of a world changed dramatically.

OKay submitted by tbernth on June 25, 2015, 11:30am Though I enjoyed this novel, I felt it lacked a real depth of explanation, and had a feel of other stories and novels concerning the same subject, but to me this was in the style of but just did not hit the mark. Something was missing from this novel, and it was a tad redundant with the message.
