Have you ever watched shows like the Walking Dead, World War Z, or 28 Days Later, and started daydreaming about "what would I do, where would I go, and what would be the ultimate place to escape to". I've been doing that for years now, and I finally decided explore that in this book, along with a healthy dose of romance and adventure for the main character. It's fun to write - I hope it's fun to read. When Melanie saw Nate walking up the driveway to the safe house, she was stunned. She never thought she would see him again after their brutal breakup 7 years before. Add the fact that the world had basically ended in an apocalyptic health epidemic, and the odds were staggering. But there he was, with a ragtag group of survivors and he was about to find out that Melanie held the key to not only their survival, but also their ability to thrive in what comes next.

This is a fiction novel about overcoming tragedy and dealing with grief. It's also about communication with God and the many ways that can happen. Finally, it's about learning to live and love again. Forgiving is hard to do, and it's hardest when its yourself that you need to forgive. Joy is a woman who has lived through so much tragedy in her young life, that she could be the lead character on a nighttime soap opera. She has so much hurt and bitterness inside her and she directs it solely upon herself. God intervenes in an incredibly kind way, a way that will potentially lead her to not only regain her life, but to also change the life of many others. But only if she can open her heart to love again; herself most of all.
