John Snyder's memoir of growing up the the Depression era south evokes a time gone by. It is written with affection and non-judgmental understanding of people dealing with hard times, sometimes with cruelty, sometimes with violence, including an unsolved case of arson that changed the author's life. In three parts, it is about early childhood among North Carolina mountaineers, living for a time with two eccentric aunts, and growing up on a sharecropper farm before the author went away to the University of Chicago.

Sven Denali didn't ask for this. He was a prepper and that meant that he planned ahead. He never knew exactly when, or if, disaster would come, but he knew that to fail to plan meant he was planning to fail, so he did what he could, just in case. When nuclear war started, the world got crazier still, and he realized that even his own neighbors, if circumstances were right, would stop at nothing to save themselves. Now with his family missing and parts of two other families relying on him, he had choices to make.

After successfully repelling an attack by the group led by the "man in the red shirt", Dianne, Jacob, Josie, and Sarah have found themselves in the clutches of the attackers while Mark, Tina, and Jason barely managed to slip away. Now they must find a way to save their friends and family from a madman before it's too late. Meanwhile, in Washington, a battle between Rick's group and the MS-13 gang members turned brutally violent when they were saved by the Russian force sent in to secure a way to stop Damocles.

Stranded across the country away from his family, Rick must travel from California to Virginia to reunite with his wife and children, all while struggling to comprehend and deal with the horrors along the way. At home with her three children when she experiences the beginning of the end in a dramatic and deadly fashion, Dianne Waters has experience as a prepper and survivalist, but not even years of training and preparation have readied her for the darkness that comes with the end of the world.
