 Not What I Expected Feb 22, 2010
By Lilmissseven
When I picked up this book I expected an entertaining read about a woman in a post-apocalyptic situation. What I got read more like a survival guide complete with bulleted lists. I forced myself to the end of the book hoping that it would pick up into an actual story, but other than short bursts of humanity this book reads as a textbook of the authors opinions of politics, religion, and survival. At the neatly (and not satisfactorily) sewn-up end of this book, I decided that I would keep it. I will put it next to 'When All Hell Breaks Loose - Stuff You Need To Survive When Disaster Strikes'. It's not as good, but it certainly doesn't belong on the shelf beside all of my great PA reads.
 Are you prepared? Oct 06, 2008
By Carolyn
This novel entertains and engages the reader in an easy page-turner, all while catapulting her/him from complacency into urgent and specific actions of preparation for "the worst." Through the unfolding story of a survivor of cataclysm, we see how politics, lifestyle, and relationships with neighbors near and far, all profoundly influence our health, well-being, and ability to survive disaster. The author utilizes her gift for story-telling to challenge each of us to commit to our highest values and act based on those values.
When the time for action comes... Feb 11, 2008
By Crystal
This is a very interesting story of life after a natural disaster, appealingly written like a memoir. Along with the tale of a woman's struggle for survival following quakes, volcanic eruptions and a tsunami that rip through Washington State, is an intriguing sub-plot of political upheaval and the future of the United States. Authentic historical facts and useful survival information are interspersed within the imaginative storyline. The middle-class heroine is someone you can identify with and admire, as she bravely faces the hardships of physical survival, questions about events elsewhere in the country and the fate of her friends and family. Everyone who has felt uneasy about the current increase in the number of natural disasters and in the spreading threat of terrorist activity will thoroughly enjoy reading this book.
Natural Devastation, Terror, and Renewal Feb 10, 2008
By Judy Krings, Ph.D., CMC, PCC
This detailed saga with its vivid imagery of life and survival after nuclear attack and ensuing natural disaster is riveting. Rugged WA state is transformed as are the lives of the few disaster-prepared survivors. Woven into this meticulously written, historically fascinating tale are courageous words of wisdom that transcend time and place. "BE PREPARED!" for a read that will leave traces of realistic horror in the folds of your mind.
