Description:WHAT REMAINS WHEN ALL IS LOST?
Skye Cassidy has just celebrated her twenty-first birthday when a deadly flu-like illness begins sweeping across the country. Before long the hospitals are overwhelmed and entire areas have been quarantined. Soon after that, the utilities fail and gas and food become scarce as the sickness reaches epidemic proportions, causing the critical infrastructures to collapse and transportation to grind to a halt.
Skye continues to live while people around her fall victim to the mysterious illness, and struggles to adapt to her increasingly lonely existence. Finally, in desperation, she sets out on a journey, following the faint sound of a faraway voice on the radio.
Strange Days is a tale of courage and strength in the face of unfathomable loss and the hope for a salvation that seems out of reach.
“…Strange Days by Sharon Mikeworth takes a fresh angle on apocalyptic fiction. This is a book highlighting the loneliness of the human experience, which is powerfully conveyed… Strange Days works to remind readers of their humanity, and humility, and perhaps spark greater appreciation for all that they already have, and all that they take for granted.” — SPR
“When everything is lost but hope, Skye is forced to rebuild her life anew. She has two choices before her: to succumb to misery or to be part of a bold new future. This is a captivating story of tragedy, loss, and a triumphant rebirth.” — Esther Wairimu, San Francisco Book Review
