Are there others out there? What's become of her father? Her step-mother and her unborn child? This book will make you prioritize some of the more important things in life, family, religion, friends, fresh air, food and water. All these things we take for granted. If they disappeared and you were fighting your neighbors for essentials, could you survive?

You will find yourself cheering, yelling and booing at some of the characters in the book. This is a tale of survival of the fittest. This tale is of humanity at its’ lowest point. What would you do to keep you and your family alive?
