O knihe

Aurora Scott was living her best life, guiding troubled adolescent girls on wilderness adventures, and returning to her Arlington home and supportive husband, Peter, an NSA analyst. But all that Aurora holds dear is wrenched from her when an aggressive cancer takes Peter and, just months later, an electro-magnetic pulse attack plunges the United States into a prolonged blackout.When even the cabin that Peter had prepared becomes unsafe, Aurora finds herself marooned in a hut deep in the George Washington National Forest, her survival skills stretched to their limit and her will to survive trickling away."In her novel Shelter in Place Maria Bowling offers us a glimpse into the post-apocalyptic future that is as terrifying as it is realistic. In prose that is spare and unflinching, Bowling tells a story of a lone woman who loses her family and risks everything to find her place in a world that has left so many behind." - Wiley Cash, New York Times bestselling author of When Ghosts Come Home."A woman is alone in the wilderness, and the society she left behind is descending into lawlessness. Shelter in Place is a terrific work of imagination, sound delivery, deft prose, and thematic power." - Richard Adams Carey, author of In the Evil Day."Shelter in Place is a unique novel set in the near post-apocalyptic future. It is one woman's struggle to survive, to seek justice, to protect those in need, and to reclaim her life and identity. Aurora is smart, courageous, relentless, and righteous. She's both a warrior and a nurturer, a victim and a winner." - Kristina Gorcheva-Newberry, author of The Orchard.
