Jerry, I commend you on this book and thank you for writing this story.
I have not read very many prepper or survival books. This was one of the first and was a generous gift to me from Rob. I sat down and started to read it and nearly finished it in one night!
It was so refreshing to read a story with the main character being a FEMALE! And a strong, independent woman, with mad skills and intelligence! So thank you Jerry. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
This story inspired me so much! To read about a woman, making her plans, taking the steps to finish projects, having the skills to get shit done and be prepared was truly inspiring! Not only did Darlene have the skills and knowledge to survive and provide for herself, but she kicked ass after the event! Being the solid voice to re-establishing community, going out on salvaging missions and being very specific about what she was looking for, she really had her shit together! I'll say it again, it's about damn time an author made the main character a kick ass woman!
The annoying couple was brilliant! The Noodles! Those were some great characters! I truly enjoyed them in the story. There's always someone like that and I wanted to drive that woman into the ground on a couple occasions!
And, you gave me hope at the end of the story. Darlene was a single woman in the beginning but found companionship at the end. Thanks for that Jerry. Not everything has to be doom and gloom.
