Dadating ang oras na ang akala mong simpleng araw lang ay magbibigay sa'yo ng malaking pagbabago. Akala mo simple lang pero hindi pala. Akala mo sapat na pero hindi pala. Akala mo wala na pero meron pala. Akala mo wala ng pag-asa pero nagkakamali ka. Akala mo wala kang matutulong pero marami pala. Akala mo malaking bagay ang kailangan pero hindi pala. Dahil yung akala mo - akala ko rin. Dahil may mga bagay na kahit simple lang - basta totoo. Simple pero bukal sa puso. Be kind! Every person you meet is fighting a difficult battle. - Earl Riney

In a future that could be ours, Lizzie, a suicidal teen-age girl, barely navigates her own life. Then everything falls apart. In an apocalyptic land nearly deserted by disease, she lacks reasons to live until a shocking turn of events reveals a phone number. Her call pulls her dangerously cross-country to meet a stranger she thought was dead. In a world where there is plenty of food, plenty of gas, plenty of space... fear, anger and a lust for power still control the patterns of human life. This coming of age, edgy young adult novel is the debut of a former alternative high school teacher. If you like this, try Toils and Snares, a Deserted Lands novella, sampled on Wattpad.
