Overview

Shayla and Athalie are unlikely survivors. Virtually alone when 'the end of the world' arrives, they must cope with collapse without the usual trappings of such stories- no guns, no bunkers, very limited funds and no combat knowledge. They not only manage, but manage with grace and dignity to survive not by luck, but by keeping their wits sharp and their hearts open. Sometimes it's prudent to be completely...unimpressive. When they went to bed that first night after pulling the truck and trailer into the rudimentary lean-to Ray had hastily built after the big barn had blown away, they were acutely aware of how much today had been different from yesterday...and it was a strange and unsettling thought that for the next months, every single day would be different from the one before. Every day they'd plan to not use any outside energy or depend on any outside forces; they'd use what they still had sparingly and carefully, and be thankful for what they had while it still worked and right up until it didn't anymore. And then they'd go on without it. No looking back.

Author Information

Sheri Dixon lives with her family in a log cabin in the pineywoods of East Texas. While they endeavor to be the best homesteaders they can given their physical and financial limitations, Sheri is quick to acknowledge that while she's pretty good with livestock, her yearly vegetable garden is always a crap shoot and mostly experimental. To that end, she is busily learning what in the lush forests surrounding their home grows without help (also known as 'weeds') and is if not nutritious, at least not toxic. Sheri recommends collecting books on wild edibles along with gardening and livestock manuals, as well as Where There is No Doctor and Where There is No Dentist as absolute musts for every home library. Just in case. Please visit Sheri at www.sheri-dixon.com
