Abstract
"A misguided experiment. A devastated world. A chance for rebirth. In a world decimated by a killer virus, an isolated mountain community is left more dysfunctional than dystopian. Small town. Big secrets. It's a place where...neighbors still look out for neighbors,...a feisty senior sasses the man who controls the town,...a doctor finds a unique use for local bullies, and the lives of three strangers unexpectedly intertwine...Martha, a reclusive doctor seeking a solution to the mystery of the pandemic,...Jake, a cab driver seeking his birth mother,...Sophie, a young, desperate pregnant woman seeking safe haven from abuse. Brought together by violence, these unlikely friends forge an alliance that may help reshape the world."
