Following a nuclear holocaust, Nathan Taylor and his family face grim choices in order to stay alive. Fleeing deadly radiation, plague and desperate men, Nathan, an army officer, leads his wife and their two teenage sons away from chaos and madness toward his ancestral home in Kentucky. Horrors lie in their path. From the prison struggling to maintain control of its inmates, to the desperadoes who enslave anyone who comes their way, even survival may cost Nathan his humanity...or that of his sons, Joshua and David. Nathan struggles to keep his family intact, but it requires making brutal choices. He wants to protect his sons, but knows they now must be deadly and cold at times. Nathan's home has been spared from the worst of the destruction, but a larger conflict over scarce resources erupts. For the survivors to have any chance they will have to fight and the desperate journey has transformed young Joshua and David into men called upon to lead and sacrifice. Torn between harsh realities, and wanting to hold onto fleeting childhoods, they are often conflicted and angry about the roles thrust upon them. Much will depend on how Nathan and his sons respond to a madman and his military regime seeking to conquer the fledgling community they are helping to build. GLIMMER OF HOPE is an epic tale of one family's endurance and triumph after tomorrow's apocalypse.

TRIGGER WARNING One of the most calming things in the world is listening to the sound of waves - not sound waves, but the beach waves. Just sit still, close your eyes, and listen. Don't pay attention to anything else, just the waves. Here I was, soaked head to toe, smelling like salt water, listening to the sound of the waves at three in the morning. How did I end up here you may ask? I tried committing suicide. And some idiot saved me.

During that summer, she just happens to bump in Roman Carter - mysterious, handsome, and the person that just happened to save her life. All Abigail wants is to leave.
