When a family camping trip takes a dark turn, how far will one mother go to keep her family safe?
Struggling with working-mother guilt, Marlene Greene hopes a camping trip in the forest will provide quality time with her three young children—until they see fires in the distance, columns of smoke distorting the sweeping view. Overnight, all communication with the outside world is lost.
Knowing something terrible has happened, Marlene suspects that the isolation of the remote campsite is all that’s protecting her family. But the arrival of a lost boy reveals they are not alone in the woods, and as the unfolding disaster ravages the land, more youngsters seek refuge under her wing. The lives of her own children aren’t the only ones at stake.
When their sanctuary is threatened, Marlene faces the mother of all dilemmas: Should she save her own kids or try to save them all?
Read it on one sitting It grabs you and keeps hold. Not all the characters were likeable but they all seemed real. Would recommend this book for someone looking for a good read.
Freaking cliffhanger!!!! ***There are some minor spoilers following***Â
First in a series Ah, Kindle First. Out of 7 Kindle first books I have previewed, 3 have been first in series. I would like to know ahead of time, because now if I wish to continue the story I must wait. For that I would give it a 3.5, because it irks me. For the author’s sake I give it a 4, it was a good read. This is not the kind of post apocalyptic novel where you learn how to survive or prepare for disaster. It is the feelings a mother goes through trying to do the best thing for her kids.
