A mother who is trying to figure out the difference between surviving and living. It’s the story of a mother who will do anything she can to protect her children. This book goes much, much deeper than just a post-apocalyptic novel. It was so much better than it’s predecessor, I think. And so I did and holy mother forking shirt balls.
